Assessment, as a system for gathering information aimed at issuing value judgments (and where appropriate merit) on the learning process, requires continuous development with constant student involvement. With this premise, student attendance and participation are understood to be fundamental, so that an unjustified and repetitive absence can adversely affect the grade obtained per course, in a similar proportion as a lack of participation or a negative attitude. The correction criteria include not only the accuracy of the results, but also the clarity of the presentation, the structuring of the analysis carried out, the use of units, the correct application of the normative criteria, and the terminology used, as well as the resolution, detail and graphic quality of the representation of the structure, in general, and of the different elements that compose it, in particular.

The continuous evaluation system (1ª opportunity) is configured with:

· A mixed test (theoretical-practical exam) that corresponds to the contents of the first part of the subject (A. Design of steel structures). This test will be carried out during the development of the course on the date that is established in due
course.

· A mixed test (theoretical-practical exam) that corresponds to the contents of the second part of the subject (B. Dimensioning of steel structures). This test will be
held on the date set by the ETSAC for the first opportunity exam.

· Workshop practice.

In order to pass the subject per course (1ª opportunity) it is necessary to satisfy the following requirements:

. A minimum attendance of 80% to both lectures and interactive and workshop classes.

. Get a minimum grade of 3 out of 10 in each of the two mixed tests.

. Obtain a minimum grade in the workshop of 3 out of 10 and make the partial deliveries established for the purpose.

. Obtain a final grade per course of 5 out of 10. In the final grade the first mixed test represents 30%, the second mixed test 40% and the workshop grade 30%.

In the event that some deliveries or established tests are not made, the grade will be non-presented. All of them are met, but they do not meet any two requirements, the qualification will correspond to the numerical value obtained with the previous percentages without ever exceeding 4.0. Students who do not pass a subject per course (1st opportunity) will be able to present themselves for their second opportunity assessment (july).

The test corresponding to the 2ª opportunity and the advance call will consist of a first theoretical part that will compute 30% in the final qualification, a second part of resolution of practical exercises, that will compute 40%, and a practical third part of resolution of a structure, that will compute the remaining 30%. On the date established for this purpose, students who have followed the course may dispense with the third part of the exam (resolution of a structure) as long as they have reached the minimum grade of 3 out of 10 in the tall, in which case adopting the grade obtained.

To pass the subject in the second opportunity, identical minimum qualification requirements of each of the parts of the test indicated for the 1st opportunity will be applied.

Students who have passed the subject of Architectural Design 5 in order to pass Structures 3 per course(1ª opportunity) will be subject to the same conditions described above.

Students who prove partial enrolment will be subject to the same conditions as those described for the rest of the students, with the sole exception that they will not be required to attend a minimum of lectures (expository teaching).

Pursuant to article 14 of the RULES OF EVALUATION, REVIEW AND CLAIM OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF TWO UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES AND MASTER'S DEGREE of the UDC, if fraud commission is detected in the evaluation tests the student will obtain in both opportunities of the subject a qualification equal to 0.
