Methodology combining different activities:

Classes of theory: it is a master class taught by the theory teacher who, in some cases, has audiovisual support that is available in the Virtual Campus of the course. In classrooms, it is possible to propose practical examples.

Classes of problems: that will focus on lesson problems that are presented in the Virtual Campus of the course, with different grades of complexity. The problem-solving classes will consider a limited number of problems. Apart from these problems, other ones are at the disposition of the students to do them autonomously. Also, blocks of more problems are at teacher's disposition and in the bibliography of the course.

It is important to note that some of the problems require a numerical resolution that exceeds the ability of the students. For this reason, in Theme 1 is presented a software to help the student to solve them. The software is presented in a specific session.

Theory classes are done in a single group, whereas the classes of problems are divided into two groups (A and B). The student has to consult in which group is included.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, and the resolution of complex mathematical systems in evaluable activities or in the resolution of class problems. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this evaluable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the qualification of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

The commission of any irregularity in an assessment act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized in this teaching guide), which may lead to a significant variation in the qualification, means that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide provides that in order to pass the course it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum qualification in the evaluation or that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same course, the final grade for this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be initiated against the student who incurs any of these irregularities.

Evaluation:

The evaluation system is based on a continuous assessment that combines different activities:

Continuous assessment activities: 100%

• Activity 1 (Test Unit 1): 25%

• Activity 2 (Test Unit 2): 25%

• Activity 3 (Test Unit 3): 25%

• Activity 4 (Test Unit 4): 25%

To pass the course will take a minimum of five as the average grade of the continuous evaluation. All activities must have been evaluated. Students who do not attend an activity will be evaluated with a 0 in that activity.

Students that do less than 3 activities will not be evaluated. Students who fail the course with continuous assessment can make a final examination, including any part of the course and calculated in 100%.

Students who wish to increase qualification can also do this final examination. In this case, the qualification of the continuous assessment will not be considered. The minimum grade to pass the final exam is again 5.

Without prejudice to other disciplinary action deemed appropriate and in accordance with the academic regulations in force, it will qualify with a zero irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a change in the qualification of an act of evaluation. Therefore, to copy any assessment activity will imply not to pass the course.

This course does not include unique evaluation system.
