• Theory: The theory part of the subject will be held in the form of a lecture during the hours reserved for the subject schedule and published by the degree. The content of each class is detailed in the subject planning sheet (schedule) that will be published on the first day of class on the Virtual Campus. During classes, we expect students to answer the questions and challenges that will appear during the explanations of the subject.
• Problems: The hours dedicated to problem classes are indicated, each year, in the degree schedule. The problem groups are formed based on a division made by the Degree Coordination. On the first day of class for each subject, a list of problems corresponding to various practical topics to be solved will be provided. Working methodologies will be implemented in the classes to solve problems in groups. The most relevant concepts will also be reviewed in a more practical context with several examples.
• Practices: The practices will be carried out in sessions distributed during the course according to the corresponding schedule published on the Virtual Campus. Students must register for a practice schedule available on the same CV to attend their laboratories. Practice groups must consist of two people. Attendance at practice sessions is mandatory. The work consists of five or six two-hour laboratory sessions during which a series of systems and programs must be implemented. The practice sessions will be evaluated through a validation test.

During these theory, problem and practice sessions, photographs or recordings of any kind cannot be taken.

The platform for communication between students and teachers will be the Virtual Campus - UAB's Moodle platform.

The results of partial assessments and work submissions will be published on the Virtual Campus. These results may undergo programming changes for different reasons to adapt to various incidents. The subject space on the CV will always be used for communications between teachers and students. Any particular query must use the institutional email of both the student and the teacher.

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.

• Theory: 50% of the final grade; consists of two intermediate tests (or controls) where each test has a weight of 25% on the final grade. A minimum grade of 4 must be obtained in each partial to be averaged.
• Problems: 15% of the final grade.
• Practices: 35% of the final grade. The practical sessions will be assessed by means of a 30-minute written test. All the tests for each practice must be passed separately in order to pass the practicals.

Students must have a minimum grade of 5 in theory and problems and a final global mark of 5.0 to pass the subject. In case of not obtaining this minimum, the numerical value in the student record will be the lower value between 4,5 and the average of the grades

The way in which each of the different parts of the subject (Theory, Problems and Practices) will be evaluated is detailed below:

Theory:

The evaluation of the theory part will be done with two intermediate tests (or controls). The day that each of these tests will be carried out, as well as its content will be indicated in the course planning sheets. The theory grade will be obtained from the average of the two theory tests. On the day of the second test, the first test cannot be recovered.

Problems:

The course schedule will establish specific sessions in which a prior submission will be required, through the virtual campus, before the problem session. These exercises will be submitted and self-assessed individually. Both submission and self-assessment are mandatory for all students. Students must present the solved problem together with their self-assessment to the problem teacher, who will review both the content and the grade awarded. In the event of a discrepancy, the final decision on the assessment will correspond to the problem teacher. The final problem grade will be obtained by calculating the average of the grades of all the submissions made and self-assessed divided by the total number of planned submission sessions. Problem submissions are not recoverable.

Practices:

To sign up for the practice shifts, the corresponding application will be used on the Virtual Campus. The activation date of the internship groups to be able to register effectively will be made public through a news in the subject space in the CV. Until that moment, only the schedules and days of the sessions of the different groups can be consulted. Attendance and punctuality in all practice sessions is mandatory for all members of the group.

To pass the internships, it is mandatory to HAVE ATTENDED ALL THE PRACTICAL SESSIONS, their correct functioning, verification by the responsible teacher, and answer the teacher's questions individually.

An individual 30-minute written test will be planned that will serve to evaluate the work done in the practical sessions. In order to pass the internships, it will be necessary to pass all the tests of each practice separately.

The internships approved in the previous year will NOT be validated.

b) Programming of evaluation activities

The planning of the evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public on the Virtual Campus and on the website of the School of Engineering, in the exam section. These dates may be subject to programming changes for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents; these changes will always be reported on the virtual campus, since it is understood that it is the usual mechanism of exchange of information between teacher and students.

c) Recovery process:

Those students who, despite making continuous evaluation, have not reached the minimum necessary to pass the subject, will have the option of a revaluation exam of the Theory part. It is necessary to have a minimum grade of 3.5 (no higher) as an overall grade and to have had to present 2/3 of the assessment in order to be able to make up the difference.

Regarding Theory, the exam will consist of two different parts corresponding to the two controls carried out during the course. The student must always take the exam in the parts previously graded with a grade lower than 5.0. The maximum grade that can be obtained in the retake is 7. In order for the grade to be averaged with the grades of the other exams, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum score of 4 points out of 10. The grade that will be taken into account to obtain the final grade for Theory will be that of the last exam taken. It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5.0 at the end of the reassessment to pass the theory and be able to make the weighted average with the other grades of the subject.

The work submitted in the problem sessions and the written tests of the laboratory practices, given their continuous assessment nature, cannot be recovered.

d) Procedure for reviewing grades

For each evaluation activity, a physical or virtual space, date and time of review will be indicated where students will be able to review the activity with the teacher. If students do not submit to this scheduled review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

e) Qualifications

Honor Enrolment: A student may obtain the Honors grade provided that the final grade for the subject is 9 or higher and taking into account the maximum percentage of Honors that can be awarded according to UAB regulations. Regarding the MH, the prioritization criterion is the assignment to the highest grades.

Since the evaluation methodology is continuous, the fact that any delivery of any evaluable evidence (exercise of problems, control, practices...) is interpreted as an express will to present itself to the subject and, therefore, to be evaluated with a different grade of Not Evaluable (NA). An NA grade can only be obtained by not delivering any evaluable evidence throughout the course.

It should also be noted that in all areas, but especially the university, for all exercises, the correct formal oral or written expression is an essential piece. Therefore, this will be part of the evaluation, issues such as spelling errors and other inaccuracies in the expression will be penalized, up to a maximum of 20% for each evaluable document.

f) Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are considered appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the grade in an evaluable activity will be graded with a zero (0). The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary topass any of these evaluation activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course. These irregularities include, among others:

• The total or partial copy of a practice, report, or any other evaluation activity. Let copy.
• Present a group work not done entirely by the members of the group (applied to all members, not only those who have not worked).
• Present as own materials prepared by a third party, even if they are translations or adaptations, and in general works with non-original and exclusive elements of the student.
• Use communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, ballpoint pens with camera, etc.) accessible during individual assessment tests.
• Talk with colleagues during the evaluation tests of theory or individual practice (exams) using any virtual means.
• Copy or try to copy other students during the theoretical and practical evaluation tests (exams).
• Use or attempt to use material related writings during the performance of assessment tests (exams), when these are not explicitly allowed.

In summary: copying, letting copy or plagiarizing (or attempting to) in any of the evaluation activities is equivalent to a FAIL, not compensable, without opportunity to recover it in the same course and without validation of parts of the subject in subsequent courses.

g) Evaluation of repeating students

Students in the second call must make all the deliveries of problems and practices in a mandatory way to be able to pass the subject.

h) Single assessment.

The single assessment of the subject will consist of the following evaluation activities:

• Theory: theory exam, 50% on the final grade
• Problems: exam of problems, 15% on the final grade
• Internships: practical exam, 35% on the final grade.

Recovery: the same recovery system will be applied as for continuous assessment

Review of the final grade: The review of the final grade follows the same procedure as for continuous assessment.

i) Use of AI

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, for educational and learning purposes. 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 assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and will imply a grade of zero (0) in the corresponding activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

j) Participation in class

In order to encourage the participation of students in class, a mechanism is proposed to reward this participation:

In the theory classes, participation through interesting questions or adequately answering the questions raised by the teachers will have a reward of 0.01.

With this reward a multiplication factor of the theory note is created:

Note theory final note theory(1+participation)

Where each participation will count 0.01. At most, the factor 1.5 (50 participations) can be reached at most. These participations must be made in the theory group where the student belongs.
