Assessment comments

This is a course with an important loading of experimental work. Therefore, attendance to all scheduled classes is mandatory.

First opportunity (June): The maximum score is 10 points, and passing the course requires a minimum of 5 points. In each of the assessed parts, it is required a minimum of 40% of the maximum score posible for that part. The assessment process will start when the student begins the work in the lab. Thus, every student that reaches this stage will obtain a mark even if the different activities of the course, including the laboratory practice, are not completed. 

Second opportunity (July): The maximum score is 10 points, and passing the course requires obtaining 5 points. Students will be assessed by an objective mixed test, from which students can obtain up to 2.5 points, and a laboratory practice test (which counts for a maximum of 7.5 points). A minimum of 40% of the maximum score posible for each part is required in order to pass the course. The practical test will consist on the preparation and execution of a laboratory experiment using the same criteria detailed in the "methodology" section, with the exception that the preparation of the experiment will not be tutored. An inappropriate preparation of the experimental work will result in a negative assessment (failed course) before beginning the laboratory work. The student can only do the exam of the laboratory practice in the second opportunity, if he/she has performed the practical training during the course (minimum 75%). If the student obtained a minimum of 4 points in the Laboratory Practice in the first opportunity will not have to perform the laboratory practice test in the second opportunity.

From the time the student begins the preparation of the experiments, or the realization of the objective test, it is considered that accepted to be assessed, and therefore those students that reach these stages will obtain a mark even if the different activities of the course are not completed. Those students assessed in the second opportunity (July) can be awarded with honors only if the máximum number of students that finish the course with honors is not reached after the first opportunity (June).

NOTE 1: "Part-time Students": First and second opportunities: Attendance to DE and TGR activities is not mandatory but the "mixed test" is required and they have to got a minimum of  5 points (of 10) to pass this activity. Laboratory practice is mandatory and follows the same requirements applied to students at full time.

NOTE 2: Implications
of plagiarism in the qualification: The fraudulent realization of the tests or
other evaluation activities will directly imply the qualification of 0.0 points
in the course in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grades obtained in all the activities for the extraordinary call, in
accordance with the provisions of the UDC Student Statute (article 35, point 3,
https://www.udc.es/es/normativa/estudantes/estatuto_estudantado/index.html

NOTE 3: December
Early call: The weighting in the evaluation of the different teaching
activities of the students who participate in the December early call, will be
adapted to the new evaluation percentages set out in this guide, if they differ
from each other in both academic courses.
