(*) The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
-Performing a preliminary design of a bridge is graded according to a format of five assignments, P1 to P5, conducted in groups of two no Erasmus students or 2 students + 1 Erasmus student -These Practical Works will be delivered in the dates indicated in ATENEA. (Continuous assessment). Failure to timely delivery of a practice will qualify with 50% of the mark obtained. - The mark obtained in each delivery (3 deliveries) will be considered as a mark of continuous assessment - These three assessment are worth the following: - Groups of two students not Erasmus: 30% of the final grade - Groups of two students + 1 Erasmus student: 40% of the final grade - The last assessment will be at week number 13 of course, it will last three hours and will have a value of 70% or 60% of the final grade respectively - According to academic guidelines, there will only be an extraordinary assessment for students who can support, in a documented way, their inability to attend, to one or more partial assessments. Only the missing assessment can be re-graded. Although in the Masters course is not foreseen in the UPC regulations the scheduling a re-evaluation of the subjects, the Chair will conduct a reevaluation to all students who have not passed the subject under the continuous assessment and under the following conditions: - Valuation of Practical Work: 0.00 points - Maximum Note: 5.00
Failure to perform a continuous assessment activity in the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
There are 2 groups, one in spanish (Q2) and one in english (Q1) The subject is lectured in presential sessions of 3 hours once per week. 5 practical works should be solved as assignements. The students can address their questions in english, catalan or spanish. Practical works and exams can be answered in english, catalan or spanish In the lectures, it is used audiovisual material that is available to the student in the virtual campus ATENEA: contents, assignments, bibliography. This material can be either in english, catalan or spanish. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.
The tutorial hours will be published at the beginning of the course
