Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
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.
Students who qualify for the "Part Time Dedication Recognition and Academic Waiver of Attendance" in accordance with UDC regulations, must attend laboratory practices. The final grade for these students will consist of two parts: the grade obtained in the laboratory practices, which will contribute 20% to the final grade, and the mixed test, which will compute for the remaining 80%. These rating percentages will apply to both opportunities. In the case of exceptional, objectionable and duly justified circumstances, the responsible teacher may totally or partially exempt any student from participating in the continuous assessment process. Students who are in this circumstance must pass a specific exam that leaves no doubt about the achievement of the subject's competences.
