Laboratory practice A1 A14 A16 A17 A18 A19 A20 A22 B3 B4 B5 C1 C3 The assessment of laboratory practices includes:
1) Continuous assessment of the work done by the student in the laboratory, considering the skills and knowledge achieved, the answers to the questions made during the lab, as well as the experimental data, its analysis and discussion.
The lack of knowledge and/or attitude during the experimental work in the lab will be reason for expulsion from the lab.
It is compulsory to complete the whole period of laboratory sessions to pass the subject.
2) The report prepared for each one of the experiments carried out, which must include all the experimental data, its analysis and the critical discussion of the results obtained. In addition, the report must be written following the guidelines of a scientific report.

Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A5 A14 A20 A21 B2 B3 C3 Written test to evaluate the contents of the subject, both the theoretical background of the experiments and the analysis and discussion of the experimental results.
It constitutes 50% of the final grade at the first opportunity, but students must obtain a minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 in the written test to pass the course.
In the second opportunity, the written test will represent 100% of the final grade. 		50
 
Assessment comments

Attendance at all seminars and practices is compulsory for the student to pass the course.

First opportunity assessment:

The
student pass the subject when the average of the marks obtained in the different methodologies of assessment is equal to or greater than 5.0 points out of 10 and the mark obtained in the written test  is equal or greater than 3.5 points out of 10.

The student fail the subject in case of not achieving the minimum mark in the written test
(3.5), although the average of the assessment methodologies was equal to or
greater than 5.0. The subject appears as failed (4.5).

The final mark could be scaled up to a maximum of 0.5 points as a result of the evaluation of the overall student's progression.

A grade of NP ("absent") will only be given to the students who do not engage in any practice session in the lab.

Second opportunity assessement:

Students who do
not pass the continuous assessment of the practical work in the
laboratory must pass an experimental  test at the lab.

The
students who pass the continuous assessment of the practical work in
the laboratory will have to pass a test in the classroom that will represent 100% of the final grade.

Students evaluated in the "second opportunity" will only be eligible for
Honors if the maximum number of licenses for the corresponding course
has not been fully covered in the "first opportunity"

Should it be more candidates to honors grade than licenses available, allocation of licenses could be done through a extraordinary exam.

The teaching-learning process, including assessment, refers to an
academic course and, therefore, will restart as new with every new
academic year, including all activities and assessment procedures
scheduled for that course.

Part-time students and students with special academic permission  (according to the rules of the UDC):

Being an experimental subject, assistance to all activities is mandatory. As far as possible, it will be tried to fit the schedule of the practical sessions to the availability of students.

The evaluation criteria for both the first and the second opportunity, will be the same as for the rest of the students.
