The evaluation of this subject will be done through a continuous evaluation methodology that includes a final exam. Access to the exam is conditioned by the participation of students in face-to-face teaching activities (problem-solving seminars, debate, supervised work and associated oral presentation and practices through ICT), for which attendance and participation must be at least of 80%. In any case, it will be mandatory to attend at least one of the two scheduled follow-up tutorials.

The student must review the theoretical concepts introduced in the different topics using the reference manual and summaries. The degree of success in solving the proposed exercises will provide a measure of the student's preparation to face the final exam of the subject. Those students who encounter significant difficulties when working on the proposed activities must attend interviews during the teacher's tutoring hours so that the latter can analyze the problem and help resolve said difficulties. It is very important when preparing for the exam to solve some of the exercises that appear at the end of each of the chapters of the reference manual.

The professor will verify the attendance to the sessions according to the official attendance control system established in the University (or in its case Center) in which the student is enrolled. Absences must be documented justified.

The weighting of the continuous assessment and the final exam will be based on the percentages indicated in the table included in this section.

The professor will analyze with those students who do not successfully pass the evaluation process, and who so wish, the difficulties encountered in learning the contents of the subject. Likewise, it will provide them with all that additional material (questions, exercises, exam models, etc.) that contributes to reinforce the learning of the subject.

As established by the "Rule that regulates the dedication to the study of undergraduate students at the UDC" (Art.3.b and 4.5) and the "Rules for assessment, review and claim of qualifications for undergraduate and university master's studies (Art. 3 e 8b), students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from assistance must be able to participate in a training methodology and associated teaching activities that allow them to achieve the training objectives and the competences of the subject. These students will be able to participate in a personalized system of orientation and evaluation tutorials that will serve, on the one hand, to guide the student's autonomous work and keep track of their progression during the course; and on the other, to assess the degree of competency development achieved.

The dispensation percentage will be established in a first interview with the students, once their personal situation is known. In this way, a schedule will be established for the orientation tutorials, and the number of problem-solving workshops that must be evaluated using this methodology will be determined. Once known, their number will be weighted over the total of them and the number of tutorials in which these students must participate will be set. All of them will be preset with the students based on their availability, according to the content schedule of the subject and specifying the deadlines for delivery of the different material likely to be evaluated (problems and questions bulletins). This material will be previously delivered through the Moodle platform according to the schedule agreed in the initial tutorial.
During the tutorial sessions, aspects associated with both the contents of the subject and the joint review of the work delivered will be dealt with, as well as small evaluation tests to check if the students continue to take advantage of these activities.

Grading implications of plagiarism:The fraudulent completion of any exercise or test of the student for the
evaluation of the subject will be subject to disciplinary
responsibilities, as stated in the Regulations for Evaluation, Review
and Claim of University Degree and Master's Degree Qualifications
(Article 11) and in the Statute of the UDC Student Body (Article 35,
point 3): "Failed grade in the call in which the offense is committed:
the student will be graded with "Fail" (numerical grade 0) in the
corresponding call of the academic year, both the fault occurs both on
the first opportunity and on the second. For this, their qualification
will be modified in the first opportunity record if necessary".
