To determine the final grade of the course (minimum 5.0 out of 10 to pass the subject), the following elements will be evaluated, weighted according to their corresponding weights:

- Problem solving (20%): during the course, a maximum of 2 exercise reports (on traffic, on layout and/or on pavements) will be proposed. The statements will be particularized for each student. The resolution will be individual. The delivery will be via Moodle on the date and in the form that will be indicated throughout the course.

- Supervised assignments (15%): a maximum of 3 supervised assignments (on cross section elements, on road nodes and/or on layout, dynamic and orientation losses) will be proposed throughout the course. The resolution will be individual. The delivery will be via Moodle on the date and form that will be indicated throughout the course.

- Objective test (55%): evaluation of the theoretical and/or practical contents:

Final objective test (40%): it will be held on the date set in the official calendar and according to the modality indicated in the teaching guide for the subject. In order to pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 3.5 points out of 10 in the mentioned test. If this minimum grade is not obtained, the other evaluation elements will not be taken into account.
Objective tests of continuous evaluation (15%): there will be a maximum of 2 objective tests of continuous evaluation, with prior notice during the course of the date, form and subject

Regardless of whether the student attends the first opportunity, the second or both, there will be a single date for the delivery and/or completion of the activities included in the "Problem solving" and in the "Tutored work". Likewise, regardless of the opportunity or opportunities to which each student is submitted, the objective tests of continuous evaluation will have a single date of completion. The grade of each one of them will be kept until the second opportunity of the course and will be taken into account in the final grade both in the first and in the second opportunity.

Students may choose not to do a continuous assessment and take only the final objective test, which in this case will weigh 100% and a minimum score of 5.0 out of 10 will be required to pass the subject. This is also valid for students enrolled part-time, etc.

Learning outcomes	Study programme competences
It allows the knowledge of roads from the point of view of the project, construction and conservation. It allows to acquire the basic knowledge of grades. It allows to know the influence of the traffic in the operation of a highway. It also allows to acquire the fundamental knowledge about the materials usually used road pavements. It gives the student basic concepts of the air and road transport system.	A27 A28 A30	B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 B11 B12 B13 B14 B15 B16 B17 B18 B19	C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8

Methodologies	Description
Introductory activities	An initial session is held to present the course program and the organization of the course, presenting the basic bibliography, the form of evaluation and resolving any doubts that students may have before facing the subject.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Theoretical sessions in which the main contents of the course are transmitted. During these sessions, student participation is encouraged through the generation of short questions as well as the proposal of practical examples.
Laboratory practice	If the planning of the subject allows it, a visit to the Roads Laboratory will be made, where students will be able to see some of the tests explained theoretically in the classroom.
Problem solving	During the course, sessions are held periodically during which exercises are presented to reinforce the theoretical knowledge explained in the lectures. In these sessions, the exercises are solved and any doubts that may arise during the course are resolved. These sessions serve as a base for the correct development of a series of practices that the student will have to hand in to be evaluated.
Supervised projects	Presentation of different exercises related to the different topics of the course, which will be presented in class and must be delivered to the teachers on the dates indicated throughout the course.
Objective test	A final objective test is given at each opportunity to check the knowledge acquired by the students on the subject matter explained in the lectures and in the problem solving sessions. Likewise, objective tests of continuous evaluation of the various topics explained in class or of the problems explained in class may be carried out throughout the course, with prior notice.
