Theory classes. The basic theoretical concepts for the subsequent practical development are introduced in an

orderly and concise manner.

Classes of problems. A series of problems is selected from the collection of each theme. The resolution step

by step of the most representative problems is shown and the resolution scheme of other problems is

presented. Resolution of problems by the students.

Note: 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.

Note: In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution by the student in the analysis and personal reflection. 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 will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a

penalization in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

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.

This subject does not contemplate the single assessment system.

The evaluation will consist of two parts:

Two written partial examinations (70%: 35% each partial) that can include a part of theory and one of problems. A

minimum mark of 3.5 is needed in each one of the partial exams. Otherwise, it will be necessary to recover the

partial suspended in the recovery exam.

Written assay that will have to be presented orally in which some of the main units of a sewage treatment plant

(30%) will be designed. The use of AI is allowed for the completion of written assay.

To participate in the recovery exam the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities

whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.

Awarding an honors grade is the decision of the teaching staff responsible for the subject. The HG can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.00. Up to 5% of the total number of students enrolled can be awarded.

A student will be considered non-assessable (NA) if he/she has not presented a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be 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, allowing copying, unauthorized use of AI (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT or equivalents), etc. in any of the evaluation activities will imply failing it with a zero. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without the opportunity to recover it in the same year.

Repeating students may be exempt from carrying out the written assay, maintaining their grade, provided that it is higher than 5.

The review of exams and assignments will be carried out in person, on a date agreed with the teaching staff.
