Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Laboratory practice A1 B2 B7 B8 B11 B12 The work carried out in the laboratory will be evaluated from the points of view of: organisation and safety, handling in the laboratory, knowledge of technical materials, manual dexterity and especially the ability to understand and rationalise the processes carried out in the light of their scientific basis. In order to carry out the practical work, students will be provided with scripts, which will reflect their objectives, materials and methods for their performance. Students will prepare reports on the practical work carried out. There will also be a short test to assess the knowledge acquired. 20
Problem solving A2 B4 B5 B7 B8 B9 C4 C7 C8 C9 Students' answers and their participation in the corresponding face-to-face activities will be assessed. Occasionally, and at the request of the teaching staff, students will be asked to hand in problem reports, which may also be assessed. 15
Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A2 A3 B7 B8 B9 B12 C1 C7 C8 Final exam with two parts, a theoretical part (50%) which includes multiple-choice, short answer and/or essay questions, and a problem-solving part (50%), in which the ability to apply the theoretical contents to solve problems will be assessed. 50
Seminar A2 A3 B2 B7 B8 B9 C8 C9 Assessment is based on the ability to apply the different experimental and theoretical concepts seen in the subject. The evaluation includes: operational aspects, understanding of the strategies and methodologies used to solve the cases, critical analysis of the results obtained. 10
Objective test A1 A2 A3 B11 From time to time, the student may be given short tests, such as a quiz or a short answer. These objective tests are designed both to assess the degree of acquisition of competences and to consolidate the contents seen in the lectures. This activity will not only allow monitoring of students' progress, but will also serve as a tool to detect those aspects of the subject that are more difficult to understand. 5
 
Assessment comments

The aim is to assess students' acquisition of knowledge, critical capacity, synthesis, comparison, elaboration, application and originality. In order to make the best possible use of the subject, students must attend all face-to-face activities.

The qualification of honours will preferably be awarded at the first opportunity.

Honours: in the event that there are several students with the same degree who are eligible for the MH, and the number of available MHs is less than the number of students, the MH will be awarded to the student with the highest final mark. In the case of the same final mark, the MH will be awarded to the student with the highest mark in the mixed test. Students assessed at the second opportunity may only apply for the MH if the number of MHs has not been fully covered at the first opportunity.

No-show grade: applied to students who participated in evaluable activities that accounted for less than (<) 40% of the final grade.

Successive academic years. The teaching-learning process, including assessment, refers to one academic year and, therefore, starts again from scratch with each new course.

FIRST OPPORTUNITY

The grade will be the sum of the following contributions:

- mixed test with a theoretical and practical part: up to a maximum of 5 points.

- activities carried out in the seminar classes, objective tests, etc., as well as tutorials: up to a maximum of 1.5 points

- problem solving: up to a maximum of 1.5 points

- laboratory practicals: up to a maximum of 2 points.

In any case, if a minimum mark of 4.0/10 is not achieved in each of the parts of the mixed exam, the subject will be failed even if the final mark, calculated according to the corresponding percentages, is equal to or higher than 5./10. In this case, the final mark will be 4.5 / 10.

SECOND OPPORTUNITY

There will be a final exam consisting of two parts, theoretical and practical, which will score 4./10 points each. In total, the maximum mark for this test will be 8./10 points. The remaining 2./10 points will correspond to the mark obtained in the laboratory practicals.

FRAUD IN THE AVALIATION ACTIVITIES

During the practical test, on either of the two occasions, unless otherwise indicated, the use of any device with Internet access is prohibited. If during the practical test there is evidence of unauthorised use of such devices, the student will be expelled from the classroom, and will proceed in accordance with Law 3/2022, of 24 February, on university coexistence and the UDC Student Disciplinary Regulations. Fraudulent performance of tests and/or activities will result directly in a failing grade ("0") for the subject in the corresponding exam session, and the grade obtained in all the activities for the next opportunity, if there is one, within the same academic year, will be null and void. It is considered fraudulent to carry out activities, proposed to be carried out in the classroom, which are carried out outside the classroom, proceeding in accordance with Law 3/2022, of 24 February, on university coexistence and the UDC student discipline regulations.
