Assessment, as a system for collecting information aimed at issuing valuejudgments (and, where appropriate, merit) about the learning process, requirescontinuous development with constant student involvement. With this premise,the attendance and participation of the student are understood as fundamental,so that an unjustified and repetitive absence can have an unfavorable impact onthe grade obtained for the course, in a similar proportion as a lack ofparticipation or a negative attitude. The correction criteria include not onlythe accuracy of the results, but also the clarity of the presentation, thestructuring of the analysis carried out, the use of units, the correctapplication of the normative criteria, and the terminology used, as well as theresolution, detail and graphic quality of the representation of the structure,in general, and of the different elements that compose it, in particular.

The continuous evaluation system is established in the following terms:

EVALUATION BY COURSE

It consists of:

• A mixed test (theoretical-practical exam) corresponding to thecontents of the first part of the subject (A. Design of steel structures). This test will be carried out during the development of the term on a date to be determine for the pourpose.
• A mixed test (theoretical-practical exam) that corresponds to thecontents of the second part of the subject (B. Dimensioning of steelstructures). This test will be carried out during the development of the term on a date to be determine for the pourpose.
• Workshop practice.

In order to pass the subject by continuos assessment, the following requirements must be met:

• A minimum attendance of 80% in both the lectures and interactive classes and workshops.
• Obtain a minimum grade of 3 out of 10 in each of the two mixed tests.
• Obtain a minimum grade in the workshop of 3 out of 10 and have made the partial deliveries established for this purpose.
• Obtain a final grade for the course of 5 out of 10. In the final grade, the first mixed test represents 30%, the second mixed test 40% and the workshop mark 30%.

The same conditions described above will apply to students who have passed Architectural design 5 in order to pass Structures 3 by continuous assessment.

Students who accredit partial enrollment will be subject to the same conditions as those described for the rest of the students, with the sole exception that they will not be required to attend minimum lectures (expository teaching).

Students who have not passed the subject by continuous assessment may take the exam on the first and second opportunities.

EVALUATION IN FIRST AND SECOND OPPORTUNITY AND ADVANCE OPPORTUNITY

The tests corresponding to the first and second opportunity, as well as to the advanced opportunity, will consist of a first theoretical part that will compute 30% in the final grade, a second part of resolution of practical exercises, which will compute 40%, and a third practical part of solving a structure, which will compute the remaining 30%. On the date established for this purpose, students who have followed the course may dispense with the third part of the exam (resolution of a structure) provided that they have achieved the minimum grade of 3 out of 10 in the workshop, adopting in such a case the qualification obtained in the workshop instead of taking the third part of the exam.

To pass the subject in the second opportunity, identical minimum
qualification requirements of each of the parts of the test indicated
for the continuous assessment will be applied.
