Lectures / Individual work:
The student acquires the knowledge of the course by attending the lectures and complementing them with the individual work. The lectures may include problem solving (theoretically based or practical exercises) and seminars.

Laboratory work
Laboratory practices will be held to achieve specific and relevant competencies.

Assessment

- Every professor decides the number and typology of evaluation activities: oral presentations, written exams, delivery of discussed articles, tests.

- The final mark of the module will be the sum of the marks of every professor multiplied by the percentage of his classes in the total teaching of the module.

- To pass a module, it is mandatory a mark over 3.5 in a 75% of all the activities in order to average with other marks of the professor and/or the module.

- There will be a period in January to repeat written exams with marks under 5. In the case of exams under 3.5, it will be mandatory to the student. In the case of exams between 3.5 and 5 it would be optional.

- The marks of other evaluations activities (i. e. oral presentations) will average with the rest of the marks of the professor/module independently of the value. There will be not option of repeating these evaluation activities.

VERY IMPORTANT: Partial or total plagiarising will immediately result in a FAIL (0) for the plagiarised exercise and the WHOLE subject. PLAGIARISING consists of copying text from unacknowledged sources -whether this is part of a sentence or a whole text - with the intention of passing it off as the student's own production. It includes cutting and pasting from internet sources, presented unmodified in the student's own text. Plagiarising is a SERIOUS OFFENCE. Students must respect authors' intellectual property, always identifying the sources they may use; they must also be responsible for the originality and authenticity of their own texts.

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.

One single final assessment: Students who have opted for the “One single final assessment” modality will have to take a final test consisting of an exam covering the entire theoretical content and problem-solving exercises of the subject. This test will be held on the period as the regular assessment students take the examinations. The student's final grade will be calculated as follows: Subject Grade = (Final Test Grade * 0.85 + Laboratory Grade * 0.15). If the final grade does not reach 5, the student has another opportunity to pass the subject through a recovery exam, which will take place on a date set by the degree program coordination. In this recovery test, it will be possible to recover 85% of the grade corresponding to the theoretical part. The practical component is not recoverable. It is mandatory to pass the laboratory (minimum grade of 5.0).

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or information search, text correction, or translation. The student must clearly identify which parts of the assessed tasks have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. This provision does not apply to exams or in-class assessments, where the use of AI is strictly prohibited. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in assessed activities will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or full grade penalty for the activities, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

The commission of any irregularity in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course syllabus), which may lead to a significant change in the grade, will result in that activity being graded as 0. If the course syllabus specifies that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity is a mandatory requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for that course will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
