1. Assessment procedure. The
assessment of this subject will be done through a system whose sections and
their respective weighting is detailed:

Assessment system (Weighting):

- Final examination (75%)

- Continuous evaluation (25%)
through:

-- problems solving and case
studies and

-- continuous evaluation of the
student by means of written and oral questions during the course and eventual
oral presentation of papers and reports.

According to this, the final
exam will have a weight of 75% in the qualification of the subject.
Continuous evaluation will have a 25% weight in the qualification of the
subject. The student score is obtained as a result of applying the following
formula:

Final score = 0.75 x N1 + 0.25
x N2

being N2 and N1 the numerical
scores of the corresponding continuous assessment (scale 0-10) and the final
examination (scale 0-10), respectively. Face-to-face teaching activities
(seminars and tutorials) are compulsory. Repeater students will have the same
regime of classes to those who are studying the subject for the first time.

2. Recommendations with regard
to the evaluation.

The student should review the
theoretical concepts introduced in the various topics using the supporting
material provided by teachers and the literature recommended for each theme.
The degree of success in the resolution of the exercises provides a measure
of the student's preparation to deal with the final examination of the
subject. Students who find difficulties in working the proposed activities
should consult with the teacher, with the goal that it can analyze the
problem and help solve these challenges.

3. Recommendations with regard
to the recovery.

Teacher will discuss with
students who do not successfully overcome the evaluation process, and want
it, the difficulties encountered in learning the contents of the subject. The
teacher will also provide additional material (questions, exercises, exams,
etc.) to reinforce the learning of the subject.

4. Others.

Attendance at face-to-face
activities (face to face lectures, seminars and tutorials) is mandatory. The
faults must be documentary supported, accepting reasons referred to in the
University regulations.

In this module it is essential to make a global approach to materials, trying to understand the close relationship that exists between the different materials synthetic procedures and their structural and microstructural characteristics, with their properties and, therefore, with their applications.
