The evaluation of the contents taught in the lecture classes and problem solving of the subject represents 90% of the overall mark. The evaluation of the laboratory practices and through ICT, together with the short answer test, is the remaining 10%. To pass the subject will be required:
a) UP TO 6 POINTS OBTAINED IN THE MIXED TEST, WITH A MINIMUM OF 3 (IN THIS SECTION) TO PASS THE ASSIGNMENT, THE MAXIMUM DURATION OF EACH MIDTERM (SEE TEXT BELOW) WILL BE 2 HOURS. THE MAXIMUM DURATION OF THE FINAL EXAM WILL BE 3 HOURS.
The mixed test will consist of two exams of theory and problems related to the contents of Electricity and Electronics of the subject, given throughout the four-month period. The student will have two options: to pass the mixed test by midterms (a midterm one with problems related to the contents of the first four subjects, and another one with problems related to the remaining contents) or to take both exams in the final mixed test. In order to pass the subject, a minimum of 3 points out of 6 in each of the two relative exams that make up the mixed test will be required. The final grade will be computed as the average of the grades obtained in each of the partial exams. The maximum duration of each of the midterms will be 2 hours. The maximum duration of the final exam (that is, including both parts) will be 3 hours. The student who passes one of the two partial exams will only have to take the exam of the part not passed in the final exam (first opportunity). It will be possible to evaluate the participation of the student throughout the course in the lectures and problem-solving sessions.
B) UP TO 3 POINTS OBTAINED IN THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION OF PROBLEM SOLVING, WITH A MINIMUM OF 1.5 (IN THIS SECTION) TO PASS THE COURSE. IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT PASS THE PROBLEM-SOLVING (SEE DETAILS BELOW), THE STUDENT MUST PASS AN ADDITIONAL FINAL PROBLEM-SOLVING EXAM (TO BE TAKEN AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FINAL EXAM, AND WITHOUT AN INCREASE IN THE TIME AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE THIS ADDITIONAL PART).
Attendance at problem solving classes is not mandatory. The continuous evaluation will consist in the resolution of problems grouped in tests (consisting of 2 problems to be solved and a reasoned question), which must be solved on previously stipulated dates. The maximum duration of each test will be 10 minutes. Those students who fail more than three of these tests, or who do not reach at least 1.5 points in the final grade of this section, will have to take a final (additional) problem test on the dates indicated by the center for the mixed test (final exam). This additional exam will consist of three problems whose difficulty will be maximum, although always within the level of the problems solved in group tutoring classes. In this case, the passing of the problem part will be obtained with a score of at least 1.5 out of 3.
C) UP TO 1 POINT OBTAINED IN THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION OF LABORATORY AND ICT PRACTICES, TOGETHER WITH THE TUTORED WORK (WHOSE MAXIMUM SCORE IS 0.5), WITH A MINIMUM OF 0.5 POINTS TO PASS THE ASSIGNMENT. IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT PASS THE PRACTICES (SEE DETAILS BELOW), A FINAL THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL LABORATORY AND ICT EXAM (TO BE TAKEN AT THE END OF THE FINAL EXAM TIME, AND WHICH MAXIMUM DURATION IS 1 HOUR) MUST BE TAKEN.
In the evaluation of the work it will be required to have a minimum of 0.5 points out of 1 in the sum of the laboratory practices, practices through ICT and supervised work, delivered through laboratory guides accordingly completed by each student. Prior to each laboratory practice, students must complete a test (duration: 10 minutes) consisting of 3 simple questions, or simple calculations, related to the laboratory practice that will follow. They will have a maximum total score of 0.2 points, while the guides will complete the remaining 0.8 points. Students who do not pass the practical part of the subject through continuous assessment will have to take a final theoretical and practical exam on the dates indicated by the center for the mixed test. This exam will consist of questions related to the work done in class, along with questions related to the handling of equipment. In this case, the pass of the practical part will be obtained with a score of at least 0.25 over 0.5.
The evaluation criteria contemplated in Table A-II/1 of the STCW Code, and included in the Quality Assurance System, will be taken into account when designing and carrying out the evaluation.
