(*) The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
The grade of the subject is obtained from the grades of continuous assessment. The continuous assessment consists of doing different activities, both individual and group, of an additive and formative nature, carried out during the course (inside the classroom and outside it). Assessment tests consist of questions about concepts associated with the learning objectives of the subject in terms of knowledge or understanding, and a set of application exercises. The final grade (NF) is obtained from the application of the following expression: NF = 0.62 · NA + 0.38 · NC Where -NE: arithmetic mean of ordinary assessment tests -NC: arithmetic mean of the activities proposed by the teachers throughout the course. The student can give up the process of continuous assessment or by communicating it in writing to the teacher responsible at the beginning of the course or for non-attendance at 20% of NC activities. In such case the NF of the subject will be obtained doing: NF = NE Criteria of qualification and of admission to the re-evaluation: The students suspended to the ordinary evaluation that have presented regularly in the proofs of evaluation of the suspended subject will have the option to take a re-assessment test in the period set in the academic calendar. Students who have already passed it or students qualified as not presented will not be able to take the re-assessment test for a subject. The maximum grade in the case of taking the re-assessment exam will be five (5.0). The non-attendance of a student summoned to the test of re-evaluation, celebrated in the fixed period will not be able to give rise to the realization of another test with later date. Extraordinary assessments will be carried out for those students who, due to force majeure, have not been able to take any of the continuous assessment tests. These tests must be authorized by the corresponding head of studies, at the request of the teacher responsible for the subject, and will be carried out within the corresponding teaching period.
If any of the laboratory or continuous assessment activities are not performed in the scheduled period, it will be considered a zero score.
The course consists of 2 hours per week of classroom activity (large size group) and 2 hours weekly with half the students (medium size group). The 2 hours in the large size groups are devoted to theoretical lectures, in which the teacher presents the basic concepts and topics of the subject, shows examples and solves exercises. The 2 hours in the medium size groups is devoted to solving practical problems with greater interaction with the students. The objective of these practical exercises is to consolidate the general and specific learning objectives. Support material in the form of a detailed teaching plan is provided using the virtual campus ATENEA: content, program of learning and assessment activities conducted and literature. 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.
