Assessment

• This course is assessed through 2 partial exams (40% Test 1 and 40% Test 2) and an assignment (20%).
• The dates of tests and submissions are specified in the course calendar, published in Moodle at the beginning of the semester. Any change will be duly announced.
• Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
• In case of absence on the day of an exam (e.g. due to illness) students must provide a certificate to justify their absence to gain the right to re-assessment.
• In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

Review of assessment items:

On carrying out each assessment activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

This subject allows single assessment, which consists in the following items:

1. Theoretical exam (1 hour and a half/40%)

2. Practical exam (1 hour and a half/40%)

3. Assignment (handed in on the day of the exam/20%)

Re-assessment:

Re-assessment for this course will involve a final summative test (date and time to be announced by the Faculty) which will cover all course content with the following conditions:

• The student must have obtained a minimum course mark of 3.5/10.
• The student must have taken/submitted all assessment items.
• The student must have been assessed in at least 2/3 of assessment items.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies in all of its activities. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.

VERY IMPORTANT: Total or partial plagiarism of any of the exercises will automatically be considered \"fail\" (0) for the plagiarised exercise. If plagiarism occurs for a second time, the entire course will be failed. PLAGIARISM is copying one or more sentences from unidentified sources, presenting it as original work (THIS INCLUDES COPYING PHRASES OR FRAGMENTS FROM THE INTERNET AND ADDING THEM WITHOUT MODIFICATION TO A TEXT WHICH IS PRESENTED AS ORIGINAL). Plagiarism is a serious offense. Students must learn to respect the intellectual property of others, identifying any source they may use, and take responsibility for the originality and authenticity of the texts they produce.

Those evaluation items with irregularities (copy, misuse of AI, etc...) cannot be reassessed.

Important note for exchange students (Erasmus, etc.) on exams and other tests

Erasmus students who request to bring forward an exam or any other type of assessment activity must present the teacher with an official document from their home university justifying their request.
