Workshop A7 A10 B1 The main objective in these classes will be the realization of especially practical tasks, with the lecturer's support and supervision: proposal and solution of applications from the theory, proposal and supervision of works, problems, exercises, presentations, expositions, debates and comments on works, solving doubts about the theory, etc. It is also possible that the lecturer explains some concepts, especially for clarifying their application, or in any case as a mere comment about the keynote speech.
Evaluation activities will be carried out during these classes; these activities will be individual or group exercises.

Mixed objective/subjective test A4 A5 B4 B5 B6 B7 C1 A mixed test will be carried out, which will correspond to the final exam. As this test is considered essential for the evaluation, it is necessary to obtain a minimum percentage of the total mark in order to compute (incorporate) the remaining evaluation activities.
As an alternative to this mixed test and with the aim of promoting the continued work by the student, the lecturer will propose intermediate mixed tests along the teaching period. Passing all these intermediate tests will be equivalent to pass the final test, without prejudice to the possibility of a final test at the first and second opportunity.

Supervised projects A3 A4 A5 A7 A9 A10 A12 A13 C1 C3 C6 C7 C8 In combination with collaborative learning and under lecturer supervision, the student will carry out one or several works in groups (in case of being more than one, at least one will be in groups, allowing for the possibility of individual works) focussed on the learning of "how to do things". It is an option based on the assumption that the students care about their own learning. This teaching method is based on two basic elements: independent learning (students) and monitoring of that learning (lecturer-supervisor).
The lecturer will develop the monitoring of this learning with the aim of assessing the acquisition of the knowledge defined for this category.

Assessment comments

As the mixed test is considered essential for the evaluation, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum percentage of the total mark in order to compute (incorporate) the remaining evaluation activities.

These evaluation criteria apply to both the first and the second opportunity. The same criteria are applied to part-time students. In any case, these students should contact the coordinator of the subject so as to keep him informed of the situation.

In case of students opting for the early call opportunity, the evaluation system will be the same as stated in the scheme above. In this case, workshop activities and supervised projects should take place at least 21 days before the scheduled date for the early call opportunity. 

The order of the lessons considered in this guide might be modified when explained during the classes, as a result of the teaching needs that might arise. 

Some general remarks regarding the evaluation, in line with the remaining teaching guides:

A) EVALUATION REGULATIONS:

1. Evaluation conditions: It is forbidden to access the examination room with any device that allows communication with the outside and / or storage of information.

2. Identification of the student:  The student must prove his / her personality in accordance with current regulations.

B) TYPES OF GRADINGS:

1. Grade of not presented: It corresponds to the student when it only participates of activities of evaluation that have an inferior weight to 20% on the final qualification, independently of the qualification achieved.

2. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of waiver attendance: It is recommended that you talk to the coordinator of the subject to inform them of their situation and see if they can adapt the evaluation system (Workshop and supervised work).

C) GRADING OPPORTUNITIES:

1. First opportunity: The evaluation criteria will be applied in accordance with those established in the “Assessment” section.

2.
Second opportunity: The evaluation criteria are the same for all
evaluation opportunities. Then, the final exam, considered as as mixed objective/subjective
test,
will continue to represent 50% of the mark.
In order to reach 100% of
the mark in this opportunity, the professors will state the evaluation
activities that necessarily
must be carried out.
The students who select this option must take into
account that the final mark from the continuous evaluation system will
be the one obtained in the second opportunity, that is, the marks
reached in the first opportunity are lost. 

3. Advance call: The evaluation criteria are the same for all evaluation opportunities. In the advance call, the activities of the Workshop and supervised work must be carried out at least 21 days before the advance call exam.

D) OTHER EVALUATION OBSERVATIONS: those listed at the beginning of these observations
