The teaching methodology will combine, in addition to autonomous work, directed and supervised
activities. In the directed activities, master classes, problem and case seminars and laboratory 
sessions will be combined. In the lectures, the lecturer will synthesize and expose the fundamental
concepts of the subject. In the seminars of problems and cases, the students will solve problems
related to the subject. In laboratory sessions, the student will put into practice, in the laboratory,
the acquired knowledge.

The supervised activities will consist of tutorials, in which the student, with a previous appointment 
with the lecturer, will be able to solve, individually or in group, doubts derived from the realization of 
the rest of activities (directed and autonomous).

This course does not provide for a single-assessment system.

Activities

Throughout the semester, activities that the student must solve autonomously out and/or in the classroom will be proposed.

The activities will represent 15% of the subject grade. They are not mandatory and there is no minimum grade required to pass this part.

Laboratory sessions.

- Attendance to the laboratory sessions is mandatory.

- The obtained grade in the laboratory sessions will correspond to 30% of the final grade of the subject.

- In case that any of the lab sessions has not been performed without justification, the lab sessions will be \"Not assessable\".

Requirement: To have carried out all the lab sessions and have a minimum grade of 5 to pass the subject.

It must be taken into account that laboratory sessions are not recoverable and, therefore, if this part is

failed, the subject can not be passed. A \"Not assessable\" in the lab sessions will correspond a \"Not Assessable\" in the final grade of the subject.

If an incident prevents or has prevented a student from attending a practical session and/or other activities, a protocol for requesting the rescheduling of assessment activities is available for the cases specified in the School of Engineering's assessment criteria and guidelines. Requests to reschedule an assessment activity must be submitted to the School's Academic Administration Office.

Exams

- There will be two partial exams during the semester, each with a weight of 50%.

The graded obtained between the two exams will correspond to a 55% of the grade of the subject.

Requirement: Minimum score of 3 in each of the partial tests and 4.5 of average between the two

partial test to be weighted with other sections.

- In case the final grade of partial tests is less than 4.5 (or in any of the partial exams is less than 3),

the student may take the final exam provided that the conditions to access it are met.

- In case that the grade resulting from weighing activities, lab sessions and partial exams is less than 5, the student must take the final exam.

The student can take the final exam as long as he has carried out all the laboratory sessions (compulsory and with a minimum grade of 5).

- The final exam will include ALL the contents of the subject, regardless of whether any of the partial exams are passed.

- If the student has to go to the final exam, a minimum of 4.5 will be required in the grade of this exam to do the average with the lab. sessions. The final exam grade will have a weight of 70% and will be weighted with 30% of the lab. sessions grade (as long as the minimums are reached) to determine the final grade for the subject.

For the assessment activities, a place, date and time of review will be indicated allowing students to review the activity with the lecturer. In this context, students may discuss the activity grade awarded by the lecturers responsible for the subject. If students do not take part in this review, no further opportunity will be made available

Final grade of the subject in case of failing the subject:

In case the student does notpass the subject, to determine the final grade that will appear in

the student'srecords, the following cases are considered:

1. The student has not taken any of the partial tests or the final exam. The final grade will be

'Not assessable'.

2. He/she has not attended to the final exam, but to one or both partial exams and the mark in the partial exams is above the required minimum. If the average of the partial marks does not reach the minimum mark necessary to weight with the rest of marks, the final mark will be the average of the marks of the partialexams.

3. He/she has not attended to the final exam, but to one or both partial exams. If in some of the partial exams the mark is under the required minimum, the final mark will be the average of the marks in the partial exams, with a maximum of 4.5

4. The student has taken the final exam, but the grade is lower than the minimum necessary to weight with the rest of the grades.

The final grade will be the highest of the average of the partial tests and the final exam. taking into account the consideration regarding the partial exams grades in 2 and 3.

5. The student has taken one or both of the partial exams and / or the final exam, but has not performed all the laboratory sessions. The final grade of the subject will be that of the failed part (if it has been failed) or \"Not assessable\" (if it has not been done).

Excellent with honors.

The excelent with honors mark will be given on the basis or the criteria fixed by the professors at the end of the year,

taking into account the number that can be given and the overall evolution of the course.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage of this course. Any assignment that includes AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or full penalty on the assessment grade, or more severe disciplinary sanctions in cases of serious misconduct.

Observations

- The procedure for the validation of previous years (if applicable) will be established

at the beginning of the semester and will be published in the cv.

- Any other case not considered in this regulation, will be analyzed individually.

General remarks.

1. Without prejudice to any other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, any irregularities committed by a student that may result in an alteration of the grade awarded for an assessment activity will be assigned a mark of zero. Therefore, copying or allowing others to copy an assignment or any other assessment activity, submitting materials prepared by a third party as one's own, or making unauthorized use of artificial intelligence to complete exercises, practical assignments, and/or any other assessable activity will result in that activity being awarded a mark of zero. If passing that activity is a requirement for passing the course, the student will fail the entire course. Assessment activities graded in this manner and through this procedure are not eligible for reassessment; consequently, the course will be failed outright, with no opportunity to retake or recover it during the same academic year..

2. We reserve the right to modify the evaluation method in those cases in which there are indications of possible irregularities in the student's evaluation.

3. The dates for continuous evaluation and submission of papers will be published on the virtual campus and on the School website and may be subject to possible programming changes due to possible incidents. Any such modification will always be communicated to students through Campus Virtual, which is the usual communication platform between lecturers and students.
