The course consists of:

• Master classes where the teacher explains the basic concepts of the subject.
• Problem solving classes where the teacher solves problems on the blackboard.
• Guided problem classes, where the students solve the problems and the teacher supervises and solves doubts.
• Troubleshooting.
• The communication tool with the students will be the UAB Virtual Campus: https://cv.uab.cat.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The subject is assessed according to 2 different types of assessment:

• 2 written tests (P1 and P2) of topics 1 and 2 (P1) and topics 3 and 4 (P2) with a weight of 90% (P1 and P2 each have a weight of 30%). This part can be recoverable in the final exam.

• Problem solving with a weight of 10% and non-recoverable.

The final mark (NF) of the subject, as long as the marks P1, P2 are equal to or higher than 2.0 points, is calculated as:

NF = (P1 + P2) * (9/20) + (Pol1r + Pol2r) * (1 / 20)

If any of the grades P1, P2 are <2 and it is true that 5 >NF >=3.5, then NF=3.5

If any of the scores P1, P2 are <2 and it is not true that 5 >NF >= 3.5, then NF= min{P1, P2}

Due to academic needs, and according to the development of the course, the evaluation procedures may be adjusted by the teacher responsible for the subject.

This subject/module does not provide for the single assessment system

Recovery process:

• The final exam of the subject will consist of 2 different parts: Pr1 (topics 1 and 2) and Pr2 (topics 3 and 4), so that the marks Pr1 to Pr2 are obtained.

• The student can take the parts that he deems appropriate and the continuous evaluation note will be replaced in all cases by the one obtained in the recovery test. For example, if the student appears in parts 1 and 2 obtaining Pr1 and Pr2, the NF will be calculated exactly as described above but substituting P1 for P1r and P2 for P2r.

• Once the student begins the recovery exam, he must necessarily hand in some answer sheet for correction. In other words, the possibility of entering the examination room and leaving it without handing in anything for correction is not contemplated.

• With the recovery processes established in the subject, all students have the opportunity to be evaluated twice in each of the evaluation activities, except for evaluations related to troubleshooting, which are non-recoverable. For this reason, no additional evaluation tests will be done if a student cannot attend one or more of the tests.

Programming of evaluation activities:

• The calendar of the evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the Virtual Campus and on the website of the School of Engineering, in the exams section. The defense of the troubleshooting will only be published in the CV of the subject. There is a protocol for requesting the rescheduling of assessment activities in the cases described in the School of Engineering's Assessment Criteria and Instructions.

Evaluation for students repeating the subject:

• No differences with respect to first-time students

Procedure for reviewing the marks:

• For each evaluation activity, the procedure to review the activity will be indicated through the Virtual Campus of the subject. In this context, claims may be made about the grade for the activity, which will be evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the subject.

Ratings:

• Evaluation with honors (MH): it is the decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.0. You can grant a MH up to 5% of the total number of students enrolled.

• A student will be considered not evaluable (NA) if s/he does not obtain a minimum grade of 0.5 in P1, P2 or in their respective recovery (Pr1, Pr2).

Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism:

• Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an evaluation act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting copying, etc. in any of theevaluation activities will involve suspending with a zero. The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable.

• In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed at any stage. Any work that includes AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty in the activity's grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
