Problem solving A4 A6 A7 B3 B4 B5 B9 B10 C1 C4 The teacher will propose to the students activities that must be developed throughout the course. The teacher will use those activities, such as problem solving and presentation of results, exercises and works, appropriate for following the course. The solution and the exposition of the problems or works in the class, individually or together, and the solutions given to the proposed exercises will be evaluated. The score for these activities is 6 points. These activities can also be evaluated through questionnaires that will be periodically presented to the students. This exam may consist of a multiple choice test with only a correct answer. Some of the tests may consist of obtaining results of problems. Incorrect questions will have penalization. The number of questionnaires or test in the four-month period will be three. The qualifications obtained in these questionnaires are included in the 60% reserved for class activities. For students who have an academic exemption from class attendance, these questionnaires may be taken on dates and times different from those established for the rest of the students. The scores that they will reach (maximum 6 points) will not under any circumstances be releasing the contents of the program. 60

Assessment comments

A) EVALUATION REGULATIONS:

 

1. Evaluation conditions: It is forbidden to access the exam room with
any device that allows communication with the outside and / or storage of
information.

 

2. Identification of the student: The student must bring and show his/her ID card
or passport the day of the exam in accordance with current regulations.

 

B) TYPES OF GRADINGS:

 

1. "No presentado" grading (students
that did not show up): Corresponds to the student, when he only participates
in evaluation activities that have a weighting of less than 20% on the final
grading, regardless of the grading achieved.

 

2. Students with recognition of part-time
dedication and academic exemption of waiver attendance: Except for the dates

approved in the "Junta de Facultad"
for the "mixed tests", for the remaining tests a specific timetable
compatible with their dedication

will be agreed at the beginning of the course.

 

C) GRADING OPPORTUNITIES:

 

1. First opportunity: The evaluation criteria will be applied in
accordance with those established in the “Assessment” section.

 

2. Second opportunity: In accordance with Article 18, section 5, of
the standards for the evaluation, review and claims of grades for bachelor’s
and master’s degrees, the second opportunity must guarantee the possibility of
passing the subject by the students, so it is advisable to modify the grading
percentages with respect to the first opportunity. On the second opportunity,
the grades achieved in the midterm activities, that is, “problem solving” (in
Spanish, evaluación continua) will be kept by the students (with a weight of
30%) but not the grade achieved in the objective test.

 

3. Advance call: The evaluation conditions of the advanced call
will be specific for this opportunity (Article 9 of the standards for the
evaluation, review and claims of grades for bachelor’s and master’s degrees). This
will be evaluated through a mixed test that will represent 100% of the final
grade.

 

C) OTHER EVALUATION OBSERVATIONS:

1. Regarding “minimums” in the evaluation criteria

A minimum grade is not required in the part of the
midterm activities (evaluación continua). In the objective test (final exam) it
is necessary to obtain at least 50% of the grade to be able to pass the
subject. This requirement will apply to both the first and second
opportunities. In the set of the two parts (midterm activities + objective
test) the student must obtain a minimum grade of 5 points to pass the subject
but provided that in the objective test a minimum of 50% of the test grade is
reached.

2. Possibility of passing the subject before the
objective test of the first opportunity

At the beginning of the course, it will be specified
if there is a possibility of passing the subject before the final exam at the
first opportunity. In this case, it will be necessary to obtain an average
grade equal to or greater that 5 in the three midterm activities carried out
during the course.
