Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Laboratory practice B5 C1 • Attendance at lab is compulsory.

• To get a final qualification students must make a number sessions fixed by the professor.


• They will be not admitted lack of assistance without justification


• The score of the practices represents 10% of the total.
10
Mixed objective/subjective test A2 B1 B3 B6 • There will be a Objective test that will be held during the four-month period. This exam includes the chapters of introduction to Physics, estatics and kinematics

• The test will be written both Galician and Spanish.

• The contribution of this objective test has a maximum score of 3 resulting in 30% of the total.

The test will be in two parts: theory (T with a maximum score of 1.2) y problems solving (P with a maximum score of 1). Homeworks H1 are also considered.


• The total qualification is given by:

NOTA (E1)= T+ P+ H1

• If a lack of attendance before the exam
NOTA(E1) = T+ P+ H1 - 0.5
22
Mixed objective/subjective test A2 B1 B3 B6 • The final Objective test will include the second part of the course: dynamics of particles, dynamics of rigid solid, fluids and waves.

• The test will be written both Galician and Spanish.

• The maximum score of this exam is six, 60% of the total.

• The score distribution is similar to the previous one: T with a maximum score of 2.4 and P with a maixum score of 2. H2 will be added to the score. Then, NOTA (E2)=T + P + H2

• If a lack of attendance before the exam, NOTA(E2) = T+ P + H2 - 0.5

• The exam date will coincides with the final exame date to be approved in the Xunta de Centro.

Guest lecture / keynote speech A2 B6 C5 - Attendance at court sessions is mandatory. Self-assessment tests are available at the platform Campus Virtual.

- Students with Academic Dispensation are also required to take the self-assessment tests for each topic.
0
Problem solving B1 B3 B5 C1 - Attendance at problem-solving classes is mandatory.

• In total, there will be 60 problems (30+30). A minimum limit is required to score, 80 % of right solutions. Score will be proportional toe the right solutions.

The solved exercices will only be admited at the demanded dates.

• Attendance at tutorial hours is compulsory (4 tutorials per exam, 8 in total). Other the score would be penalised.

• The first 30 exercices will be scored from 24 right exercicies . The score H1 will start in 0.32 points (when 24 problems are right done) to 0.8 point (when 30 are right).

• The 30 exercices, correponding to the second part, will be scored from 24 right exercices. The score H2 will start in 0.64 points (when 24 problems are right done) to 1.6 point (when 30 are right).

Assessment comments

Final qualification is given by the equation: Mark = Practices +  E1 + E2

where:

  • Practices is the score of lab practices, 1 point maximum.
  • E1 is the score of the first Objective test
  • E2 is the score of the first Objective test


The criteria for the second opportunity  and extraordinary exams are the same as in the other objective tests.

  • During the exams, students are only going to be tested
    about the parts which will be pointed out by the professors.
  • The test will be written both Galician and Spanish.

  • The scores of  lab and homework will be preserved in the final mark.

  • The percentage of this test on the final score depends on the part that has to be examined.

  • The exam date be approved by the Xunta de Centro.

Criteria for the
evaluation of objective tests and problem solving

Rubric will be used to
evaluate the competency Understanding and mastery of the
fundamentals about statics, kinematics, dynamics and waves and their
applications to engineering problems.
The following
sub-competencies shall be taken into account:

  • The student has
    knowledge about general laws


  • The student analyzes
    problems, identifies magnitudes and their relative importance.


  • The student uses the
    appropriate tools to analyze and to calculate.


  • The student is
    capable of analyzing the coherence of the results.


  • The student gets
    error-free numerical results.


  • The student expresses
    the result with the appropriate units.
