Mixed objective/subjective test | A3 A5 A7 B4 B7 B8 C8 | A test containing multiple-choice questions, short- and long-answer questions and problems, which will be similar to those presented throughout the course. | 60 |
Laboratory practice | A5 A6 A7 A8 B6 B7 B8 C3 C7 | The following aspects of laboratory work will be evaluated: - Organization of work and safety. - Attitude, scientific curiosity and degree of involvement in work. - Quality in the interpretation of the results. - Quality of the final report (laboratory notebook). |

Seminar | A3 A5 C3 C7 | The responses of the students and their individual or group participation in the corresponding face-to-face activities will be graded. Occasionally, and at the request of the teacher, the student must deliver problem sheets that can also be evaluated. | 5 |
Workshop | A5 B6 C7 | The activities carried out in workshops and the quality and frequency of the participation of the students will be evaluated. | 5 |
Objective test | A3 A5 A7 B4 B7 B8 C8 | Periodically, students will take a series of short tests, with multiple- answer or short-answer questions, during the seminar sessions. These objective tests are designed both to assess the degree of skill acquisition and to strengthen the contents seen in the lectures. This activity will not only monitor the evolution of the students, but will also serve as a tool to detect those aspects of the course that present a greater difficulty in understanding. | 10 |
Assessment comments | |||
Passing the course requires a minimum of 50 points, and at the same time the condition of obtaining a minimum of 45% of the Mixed Test score and a minimum of 40% in laboratory practices must be met. In the event that the minimum score is not reached in any of them, if the sum of the set is greater than or equal to 50 points, a failing grade will be awarded (4.5 out of 10 points). Since assessment is based on a continuous assessment model, the progression of the students throughout the semester will be specifically evaluated, with a maximum of 1 point that can be added to the final grade. The evaluation cannot be positive if students did not attended all the laboratory classes. The student will not be graded if the participation in activities that contribute to the overall grade is below 25% of the overall activities. The "second chance in July" is understood exclusively as a second chance to take the mixed-test: a second mixed-test is taken, representing 50% of the grade. The grades obtained in the other activities carried out during the course will be added to this grade. The honors will be awarded mainly to students who pass the subject at the first opportunity. It will only be awarded on the "second chance" if your maximum number is not covered on the first opportunity. According to the "Regulations of the regime of dedication to the study of undergraduate students at the UDC" (Art.3.be 4.5) and the "Rules of evaluation, review and claims of the qualifications of undergraduate and master's studies (Art 3 and 8b), students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from the attendance exemption must be able to participate in a training methodology and associated teaching activities that allow them to achieve the training objectives and competencies of the course. Therefore, they will participate in a personalized orientation system and evaluation tutorials that will serve, on the one hand, to guide the student's autonomous work and monitor their progress during the course, and on the other hand, to assess the degree of development of competence achieved. The waiver percentage will be set 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 will be evaluated using this methodology will be determined (every two seminars or workshop sessions will be evaluated using 1 tutorial). Once known, their number will be weighted over the total and the number of tutorials in which these students must participate will be established. All of them will be agreed with the students according to their availability, according to the schedule of contents of the course and specifying the delivery times of the different materials that can be evaluated (problem sheets and questions). This material will be delivered to the student in advance through the Moodle platform according to the schedule agreed in the initial interview. The tutoring sessions will be used to discuss aspects associated with both the contents of the course and the review of the tasks submitted, in addition to carrying out small assessment tests to verify whether students take advantage of these activities. |
