Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Problem solving A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A12 A14 A21 B2 B4 C1 During the problem-solving classes, the professor assesses the solution of the proposed problems as well as their active participation in the discussions with the other students. 10
Laboratory practice A14 A17 A18 A20 A21 A22 A23 A26 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1 Work in the laboratory will be assess according to:
- Organization and security
- Knowledge of the material and technical procedures
- manual skill and, especially, the ability to understand the processes observed from the previous preparation.
The laboratory notebook will also be marked, consisting of three parts:
1-Summary of the previous theoretical preparation (carried out during the supervised work).
2-Detailed description of laboratory work (laboratory diary).
3- Results and conclusions drawn from the experiment.

Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A12 A14 A21 B2 B3 C1 Students will take the mixed test in the hours designed by the Faculty. It will consist of a number of questions and problems related to the subject's contents. 50
Supervised projects A14 A16 A21 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1 During the interview associated to the supervised work, the teacher will assess whether the student has gained enough knowledge of theoretical and preparative aspects related to the experiment that will be carried out in the laboratory
The student will not be able to begin the work in the laboratory until he/she performs adequately this previous preparation.

Objective test A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A12 A14 A21 B2 B3 C1 Periodically, the students will perform a series of short-term or short-answer tests, in accordance with the section of methodologies 10
 
Assessment comments

Passing the course requires: 1) Obtaining a grade of 5 points (out of a maximum score of 10); 2) Gaining a minimum of 5.0 points in the mixed objective/subjective test (exam); and 3) Obtaining a minimum of 4.0 points summing the grades obtained for the Supervised Project and Laboratory Practice. In case that the student does not obtain the minimum points in some of these items, but the sum of the points is equal or higher than 5.0, the overall grade will correspond to 4.5 points.

Given that this course follows a continuous-assessment model, the progress of the student during the semester can be granted with up to 1.0 additional(extra) points.

Attending the laboratory practice is compulsory to pass the course.

A student will not be graded when participating in activities counting less than 25% of the overall grade.

The students that do not pass the course in the first chance have a second opportunity in July to have a mixed test. The maximum score of the second tests 5 points, the remaining 50% of the overall grade being the result of the assessment of the other activities of the course. In other words, the grade obtained in the second mixed test (July) replaces that obtained in the firsttest (June), while the remaining part of the grade does not change.

Students assessed in the second opportunity can only be granted with a"Matrícula de Honra" (the highest grade awarded to outstanding students) only if the maximum number of these distinctions according to the regulations were not awarded to students passing the course in the first opportunity.

Those students having a part-time dedication to the course, and thus waiverof assistance to the on-site academic activities according to the regulations of UDC, must attend the supervised projects and laboratory practice (compulsory). The final grade for these students will be the result of the following breakdown: 30% of the overall grade corresponds to the assessment of the laboratory work and supervised projects and the remaining 70% to the assessment of the mixed test. This breakdown is applied both for the first(June) and second (July) chances.

Only in very exceptional circumstances (adequately justified) the student may be exempted from the continuum evaluation process. In that case, he must pass a special examination to prove, without any doubt, the overall level of knowledge and skills.
