| Workshop | A7 A10 B1 | The main objective in these classes will be the realization of especially practical tasks, with the lecturer's support and supervision: proposal and solution of applications from the theory, proposal and supervision of works, problems, exercises, presentations, expositions, debates and comments on works, solving doubts about the theory, etc. It is also possible that the lecturer explains some concepts, especially for clarifying their application, or in any case as a mere comment about the keynote speech. Evaluation activities will be carried out during these classes; these activities will be individual or group exercises. |

| Mixed objective/subjective test | A4 A5 B4 B5 B6 B7 C1 | A mixed test will be carried out, which will correspond to the final exam. As this test is considered essential for the evaluation, it is necessary to obtain a minimum percentage of the total mark in order to compute (incorporate) the remaining evaluation activities. As an alternative to this mixed test and with the aim of promoting the continued work by the student, the lecturer will propose intermediate mixed tests along the teaching period. Passing all these intermediate tests will be equivalent to pass the final test. |

| Supervised projects | A3 A4 A5 A7 A9 A10 A12 A13 C1 C3 C6 C7 C8 | In combination with collaborative learning and under lecturer supervision, the student will carry out one or several works in groups (in case of being more than one, at least one will be in groups, allowing for the possibility of individual works) focussed on the learning of "how to do things". It is an option based on the assumption that the students care about their own learning. This teaching method is based on two basic elements: independent learning (students) and monitoring of that learning (lecturer-supervisor). The lecturer will develop the monitoring of this learning with the aim of assessing the acquisition of the knowledge defined for this category. |

As the mixed test is considered essential for the evaluation, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum percentage of the total mark in order to compute (incorporate) the remaining evaluation activities. These evaluation criteria apply to both the first and the second opportunity. The same criteria are applied to part-time students. In any case, these students should contact the coordinator of the subject so as to keep him informed of the situation. In case of students opting for the early call opportunity, the evaluation system will be the same as stated in the scheme above. In this case, workshop activities and supervised projects should take place at least 21 days before the scheduled date for the early call opportunity. The order of the lessons considered in this guide might be modified when explained during the classes, as a result of the teaching needs that might arise. Some general remarks regarding the evaluation, in line with the remaining teaching guides: - "Absent" mark. It corresponds to the student that only takes part in evaluation activities whose total weight is lower than 20% of the final mark, regardless of the mark they had obtained. - Second opportunity and early call opportunity. The assessment criteria are the same for all the evaluation opportunities. With respect to the early call opportunity, workshop activities and supervised projects should take place at least 21 days before the scheduled date for the early call. - Part-time and exemption-from-attendance students. It is recommended to contact the coordinator of the subject so as to keep him informed of the situation and try to adapt the evaluation system. - Evaluation conditions. It is prohibited to enter the classroom where the evaluation activities take place with any device that allows for communication with the outside and/or information storage. - Student identification. The student must give proof of identity, according to the existing regulation. |
