Evaluation

1. The part of theoretical concepts and exercises is worth 75% of the global score. It is composed of two exams, one in the middle of the semester:

- first partial exam: chapters 1 to 5 (30% of global score)

- second partial exam: chapters 6 to 10 (45% of global score)

To pass the course, it must be obtained at least a 40% score in the second partial exam.

In order to promote a continuous evaluation, the students will be able to submit throughout the semester the exercises proposed during theoretical classes. The score obtained will be added to the corresponding partial exam (one point per exercise submitted)

Example: if a student submits 2 exercises and obtains a 100% score in both exercises, the partial exam will be assessed for a maximum 80% score, and a 20% score, corresponding to the 2 exercises submitted, will be added to the global score.

2. The part related to practical sessions is worth 25% of the global score.

For this, the attendance and performance of all the laboratory practices is mandatory to be entitled to the evaluation of the rest of aspects of the subject (including the realization of a practice exam). In these laboratory practices, the acquisition of the knowledge developed in the theoretical classes will be demonstrated through the implementation of proposed designs in the practice scripts. The delivery of all required practice reports will be mandatory.

Of the 25% of the practical note, the scripts and assessment of the student's work in the laboratory will be worth 5%, while the practical exam will be 20%.

3. Those students that have followed the continuous evaluation will be able to do the recovery exam (extraordinary evaluation), which will consist of a single exam where all the theoretical knowledge acquired during the semester will be assessed. This exam will be worth 75% of the global score. In this case, in order to pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a 50% score in the recovery exam.
