Not established
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
For the training of an engineer, the scientific base in physics and mathematics is fundamental. In this subject, students will be provided with basic knowledge of most of the branches of classical physics so that, in the future, students can go deeper into the areas most involved with their professional training from a solid base. Training in solving exercises, insofar as it teaches to think in an orderly and systematic way, also provides interesting training in facing difficulties of all kinds, and not only in the field of physics. Laboratory practices, finally, teach the importance of rigor and meticulousness in the development of Science.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Mid-term tests | 70.00% | 80.00% | Two partial exams or final test |
| Assessment of active participation | 15.00% | 0.00% | Continuous assessment tests throughout the course |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 15.00% | 20.00% | It also includes the evaluation of the attitude during the practices and a multiple choice exam on the handling of experimental data that is carried out just before the practices. This activity is compulsory. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:Two partial eliminatory tests will be carried out throughout the course: the first after Christmas and the second on the day of the final exam of the non-continuous evaluation partners. The mark of each exam must be greater than 4.0 points to make the average between them. Once this requirement has been met, the exam will account for 70% of the final grade. 15% can be obtained from the various activities of continuous evaluation throughout the course, the same as for the experimental work in the laboratory (another 15%). The final mark must be greater than 5.0 points to pass.
The partial exams will consist of mixed questions on theoretical issues and practical exercises in variable proportion.
If the first partial exam is failed, the student will have the option of making a recovery of this part immediately after the exam corresponding to the second part. The minimum grade for each exam is 4 points.
If in any call the student has any of the parts with less than 4 points, he will be failed and his mark in the minutes will be the average of the marks of his exams with a maximum of 4.0 points (the marks of the exams do not come into play in this case). achievement in class or practical laboratory). -
Non-continuous evaluation:In this case, the mark will be obtained from the final exam mark (80%) and the laboratory mark (20%), both having to be more than 4 points and the final mark greater than 5/10. This test is passed or failed as a whole, parts cannot be passed separately to save for the extraordinary
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The extraordinary exam will also have two differentiated parts, so that each student of the "continuous evaluation" option is obligatorily examined only in those in which he has not reached 4.0 points in the previous tests. The type of exam will be similar to that of the ordinary call. The calculation of the note as in the conv. ordinary
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
There will be a single exam of all the subject matter of the course, separated into two parts (corresponding to the two partial exams of the ordinary call) and each of them must obtain more than 4 points and a global average of more than 5 points (on 10).
