8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Laboratory sessions 25.00% 25.00% Jointly evaluated:
-Experimental part: general attitude in the laboratory, compliance with laboratory rules, the laboratory notebook and the proper performance of the experimental part.
- Practice report: Report for each practice done. It will be evaluated taking into account the numerical operations carried out, the results obtained, the answer to the proposed questions, as well as the clarity and presentation of the same.
It is necessary to obtain a grade of 5 out of 10 to pass the course. Otherwise, a specific test will be carried out in ordinary and / or extraordinary calls to recover this part.
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 5.00% 0.00% Delivery (individual or in group) of numerical problems, questions or practical cases assigned by the teacher.
It will be evaluated taking into account the appropriate resolution of the same and the participation in the seminars
Mid-term tests 20.00% 0.00% Written evaluation test that will consist of solving theoretical, theoretical-practical questions and numerical / analytical problems on topics 1 to 6. If the mark obtained in this test is higher than 7, the evaluated subject is eliminated, both for the ordinary call and for the extraordinary. It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4 to average with the second test. Recoverable in the final test.
Final test 50.00% 75.00% Written evaluation test that will consist of solving theoretical, theoretical-practical questions and numerical / analytical problems on topics 7 to 12.
For those students who have not passed the progress test or want to improve their grade, the test will consist of a final exam of the entire subject, in which case, its evaluation will be 70%
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:
    To pass the course, it is necessary to have obtained a grade of 5 out of 10, in the final test and in laboratory practices (compulsory completion and passing). The final grade will be obtained by applying the assessment percentages indicated in the assessment system.
    In case the previous requirements are not fulfilled, the grade obtained will be suspended and the numerical grade will be obtained in the final test or in case of passing this but not the laboratory practices, the suspension grade 4.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    To pass the course, it is necessary to have obtained a grade of 5 out of 10, in the final test and in laboratory practices (compulsory completion and passing). The final grade will be obtained by applying the assessment percentages indicated in the assessment system.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
There will be a final written exam (80%) and the grade obtained from the laboratory practices will be considered, either in the performance of the same or in the test enabled to pass them (20%). It is necessary to obtain a grade higher than 5 out of 10 in the written exam and have passed the laboratory practices with a grade higher than 5.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
There will be a final written exam (80%) and the grade obtained from the laboratory practices will be considered, either in the performance of the same or in the test enabled to pass them (20%). It is necessary to obtain a grade higher than 5 out of 10 in the written exam and have passed the laboratory practices with a grade higher than 5.
