The teaching methodology to be followed is aimed at the student's continuous learning of the subject. This process is based on four types of activities that will take place throughout the course: theory classes, consolidation activities, problem seminars and computer-based quizzes.

• Theory sessions: the professor will explain the fundamental contents of the subject and the strategies to acquire, extend and organize this knowledge. The active participation of students will be encouraged through exercises and the use of interactive tools for student participation.
• Consolidation activities. Exercises will be proposed to be solved during theory sessions using Kahoot, with the aim of consolidating the concepts explained.
• Problem seminars: Students are expected to actively participate in consolidating the knowledge acquired through the resolution, presentation, and discussion of exercises. Scientific software (MATLAB) will be used as a support tool for solving them.
• Computer quizzes: students will have to take quizzes on the topics covered in class in order to bring the subject up to date, consolidate the fundamental skills of the subject and prepare for the written exam tests.

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.

The evaluation of the subject will be done progressively and continuously throughout the semester. The evaluation system is based on the following rules:

a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities

The following activities are planned:

• Activity A. Making Questionnaires on the Moodle platform. The subject's Moodle contains four quizzes: one on matrices, one on systems of equations, one on the calculation of one variable and one on the calculation of several variables. Each of the quizzes counts for 5% of the subject's final grade. In each one you can see the opening period and the rules of operation.
• Activity B. Examination of the contents of Block I (matrices and systems of equations), to promote the consolidation of all the material worked on during the course. This activity counts for 25% of the final grade of the subject.
• Activity C. Examination of the contents of Block II (calculus), to promote the consolidation of all the material worked on during the course. This activity counts for 45% of the final grade of the subject.
• Activity D. Consolidation activities. Activities proposed throughout the course to be completed during class. This activity accounts for 10% of the final grade. The grade will be calculated proportionally based on the number of correctly answered exercises out of the total number of exercises proposed.

The formula for calculating the final grade is:

NotaFinal = 0.45 NotaExCalc + 0.25 NotaExMatSisEc + 0.05 CuestMat + 0.05 CuestSistEc + 0.05 CuestCal1 + 0.05 CuestCalVar + 0.1 GradeConsActivities

where each grade is in the range from 0 to 10. To pass the subject (passing means obtaining at least a 5 in Final Note), you will need to obtain a minimum grade of 4.5 in activities, B and C. You must take into account that the Activities A and D are not recoverable. This means that if you do not complete them in the time and form indicated, it will not be possible to complete them later. The exams will be held in a computer lab using computers under supervision. MATLAB software will be used to solve the exercises, without access to unauthorized external resources.

b) Programming of evaluation activities

The calendarization of the assessment activities will take place on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the Virtual Campus (Moodle) and on thewebsite of the School of Engineering, in the exams section. The following schedule is planned:

+ Activity A: to be completed according to the instructions indicated in each Moodle questionnaire.

+ Activity B: Exam Block I: Partial exam in the programmed week. Final exam and recovery: dates to be determined by the school (January 2027).

+ Activity C: Exam Block II: Final Exam and Recovery: dates to be determined by the School (January 2027).

+ Activity D: information will be provided in each theory session. Activity D will be carried out in the classroom in a single mode of delivery.

If the student obtains at least a 4.5 in the partial exam of Activity B, this part of the subject is released and will only have to be presented in the exam of block II (Activity C) on the date of the final exam (January 2027). If the student does not get at least 4.5 in the mid-term exam, he/she will have to do this exam (Activity B) together with Activity C on the date of the final exam. Activity A will be evaluated through two possibilities in the quiz where the final grade will be the highest grade obtained from the two attempts. All activities will be completed individually.

The protocol for requesting the rescheduling of assessment activities will apply in the cases specified in the Assessment Criteria and Guidelines of the School of Engineering. Further information is available at: https://www.uab.cat/es/ingenieria/reprogramacion-examenes

c) Recovery process

For those students who, at the end of the evaluation process, have not obtained a grade equal to or higher than 4.5 in activities B and C, or whose Final Grade is lower than 5 having done so, there will be a reassessment. This will consist of carrying out, on the date planned by the School, an exam by activity representative of the situations worked on during the course. Students will only have to take the exam for the activity in which they have not obtained at least a 4.5. If a student does not reach the minimum grade of 4.5 in any of the B or C activities and therefore does not pass the subject, the final grade will be a maximum of 4.5, that is, equal to the value of the weighted average (according to section a)ifit is lower than 4.5 or 4.5 if it is higher.

d) Qualification review procedure

For each assessment activity, a review place, date and time will be indicated in which the student can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims can be made about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the subject. If the student does not appear for this review within the set deadlines, this activity will not be reviewed later.

e) Qualifications

The final grade of the subject will be calculated according to the percentages mentioned in section a) of this section. It should be noted that:

• Honorary registrations. Awarding an honors matriculation grade is solely the decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. UAB regulations indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 9.00 and in an amount not exceeding 5% of the number of students in the subject.

• Not assessable. A student who has not taken any B or C activities will be considered "not assessable". In any other case, the assessment criteria detailed above are followed.

f) Irregularities by the student, copying and plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are considered appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that could lead to a variation in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, allowing copying, etc. in any of the evaluation activities it will involve suspending it with a zero. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, with no opportunity to recover it in the same course.

g) Evaluation of repeat students

For repeating students, none of the activity grades are carried over from one academic year to the next. Repeating students may choose between the assessment system based on electronic examinations established for the current course or the paper-based examination format used in previous years. In all cases, the same assessment system described above will apply.

h) Single evaluation

The student who adheres to the single assessment waives the continuous assessment. This resignation is made at the beginning of the teaching of each semester, on the dates set by each center within the framework calendar established in the academic and administrative calendar of the UAB. The link with the information about the single assessment is:

https://www.uab.cat/web/estudis/masters-i-postgraus/masters-universitaris/avaluacio/avaluacio-unica-1345885386109.html

The single assessment of the subject is made up of the following assessment activities:

Activity U1. Examination of matrices and systems of equations with a weight of 35%.

Activity U2. Infinitesimal calculus exam, with a weight of 65%.

At least a 4.5 must be obtained in both activities to calculate the final weighted grade. If a 4.5 is not achieved in any of the activities, then the final grade will be the weighted average if it is lower than 4.5 or it will be saturated at 4.5 if the average is greater than 4.5. The same recovery system applies as in the case of continuous assessment.

i) Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools

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 of the student in the analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which partshave 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 penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
