The teaching methodology will include, apart from the autonomous work, directed and supervised activities. For the case of the directed activities, master classes, seminars for solving problems and cases and laboratory sessions will be combined.

This course does not offer a single assessment option.

Cases

Throughout the semester, cases will be proposed that the student must solve autonomously, in group, outside the classroom.

- The cases, together with their follow-up sessions, are compulsory and will represent 25% of the mark of the subject. The mark will take into account the proposed solution, the report and the evaluation made by the professor during the follow-up sessions.

- The attendance to the follow-up sessions is mandatory. In case the student does not attend, without justification, it will be considered that the corresponding case has not been done and, therefore, the student cannot be evaluated.

- To pass the course, all the proposed cases must have been solved (what includes the attendance to the follow-up sessions) and have obtained a minimum weighted mark of 4.5, to be able to weight with the marks of examination and laboratory.

- Keep in mind that this part is not recoverable and, therefore, if this part is failed (mark smaller than 4.5), the subject cannot be passed.

Laboratory lessons

- The realization of all the laboratory classes is mandatory.

- For a lab practice to be considered completed, it is necessary to attend the corresponding lab session and have completed all the scheduled work related to the practice before and/or after the corresponding session (if applicable).

- The mark obtained in the laboratory part will constitute 25% of the final mark of the subject.

- To pass the course, it is mandatory to attend to all the laboratory classes and have a minimum average mark of 4.5.

- It must be kept in mind that laboratory practices are not recoverable and, therefore, if this part is failed, the subject cannot be passed.

- The procedure for the validation of practices carried out in previous courses (if applicable) will be established at the beginning of the semester and will be published in the cv.

- Any incident known in advance that prevents the student of attending a lab practice session and/or case tutorial must be communicated BEFORE the session to the teaching staff, who, after evaluating the reason, will decide what measures to take.

-In the event of an incident that prevents attendance at a practical session and/or a case study tutorial, there is a protocol for 'requesting the rescheduling of assessment activities,' in accordance with the cases specified in the School of Engineering's assessment criteria and instructions. Students must request the rescheduling of the activity through the School's Academic Management Office (Gestió Acadèmica)."

Exams

- There will be two partial exams during the semester.

- The mark of the first partial exam will constitute 66% of the final mark of the exam and the second part the remaining 34%. The mark obtained between thetwo exams will constitute 50% of the mark of the subject.

Requirement: Minimum mark of 3 in each of the partial exams and 4.5 of average between the two partial exams to pass the subject.

In case that the mark of some of the partial exams is lower than 3, the student must do the final exam.

- If the final mark of the partial exams is lower than 4,5, or in one of the partial ones it is lower than 3, the student can make the final exam, in which ALL the contents of the subject will be included, provided that the conditions to access to this final exam are met.

- If the final weighted mark (from exams, lab practices and cases) is smaller than 5, the student must take the final exam.

- The student can do the final exam whenever he has done the cases and the laboratory, which are mandatory in both cases, with a minimum mark of 4.5 each.

- If the student must take the final exam, a minimum of 4.5 will be required in the mark of this exam to weight its mark with the rest of marks.

Final mark in case of failing.

In case the student does not pass the subject, to determine the final mark that will appear in the student record, the following cases are considered:

1. The student has not attended to any of the partial exams or the final exam. Thefinal mark 'Not evaluable'.

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 necessaryto weight with the rest of marks, the final mark will be the average of the notes of the partial exams.

3. He/she has not attended to the final exam, but to one or both partial exams. If insome of the partial exams themark 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. He/she has attended to the final exam, but the grade is less than the minimum necessary for weighting with the rest of marks. The final mark will be the highest among the average of the partial and final exam marks, taking into account the considerations on the marks of the partial exams mentioned in points 2 and 3.

5. The student has attended to one or both of the partial exams and / or the final exam, but has not done ALL the laboratory or the cases (or has failed some of these parts). The final mark of the subject will be that of the failed part (if it has been failed) or a 'Not assessed' (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.

Remarks

Any other case not included in this regulation will be analyzed individually.

The dates of continuous evaluation and delivery of works will be published on the virtual campus and may be subject topossible changes of programming due to adaptation to possible incidents. You will always be informed on the virtual campus about these changes since it is understood that this is the usual platform for the exchange of information between professors and students.

For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated in which the student may review the activity with the professor. If the student does not attend to this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted in any of its phases. Any work that includes AI-generated fragments will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty on the activity's mark, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

General remarks

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures that are deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, the irregularities committed by the student who can lead to a variation in the rating of an act of evaluation,as copying or letting copy an exercise or any other evaluation activity will imply failing with a zero, and if it is necessary to pass it,the whole subject will be failed. Qualified evaluation activities by this procedure will not be recoverable, and therefore the subject will be failed directly without opportunity to recover it in the same academic year.

Professors reserve the right to modify the evaluation method in those cases where there are indications of possible irregularities in the student's assessment.
