2. Pre-Requisites

For students to achieve the learning objectives described, they must possess knowledge and skills that are supposed to be guaranteed in their training prior to entering the University:

- Knowledge: basic geometry and trigonometry, basic mathematical operations (powers, logarithms, fractions), polynomials, matrices, derivation, integration and graphical representation of functions.

- Basic skills in instrumental management: elementary management of computers.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

The Mining Engineer is the professional who uses the knowledge of physical and mathematical sciences and engineering techniques to develop his professional activity in aspects such as the search for mining resources, the exploitation of mines, the extraction of elements of economic interest from their original minerals, the control, instrumentation and automation of processes and equipment, as well as the design, construction, operation and maintenance of extractive industrial processes, etc. This training allows him/her to participate successfully in the different branches that make up mining engineering, to adapt to changes in technologies in these areas and, if necessary, to generate them, thus responding to the needs that arise in the productive and service branches to achieve the welfare of the society to which he/she owes.

Within the MATHEMATICAL knowledge necessary to carry out all of the above, the methods developed in the subject MATHEMATICS have proven to be the most appropriate for the modern treatment of many disciplines included in the Syllabus. Disciplines that, in the end, will allow the engineer to face the problems that will arise throughout the exercise of the profession.

Therefore, it is necessary to take this subject because it is an essential part of the basic training of a future engineer. Its purpose is to provide students with the basic MATHEMATICAL resources necessary to follow other specific subjects of their degree, so that the student will have enough MATHEMATICAL ability and skills to solve problems related to engineering and to MATHEMATICS itself. In addition, this subject helps to enhance the capacity for abstraction, rigor, analysis and synthesis that are typical of MATHEMATICS and necessary for any other scientific discipline or branch of engineering.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Final test 70.00% 90.00% The FINAL EXAMINATION will consist of TWO ELIMINATING written INTERIM EXAMINATIONS of subject matter (not compulsory) and a FINAL written EXAMINATION of the subject matter not eliminated (compulsory).

These exams will consist of questions, theoretical issues and problems where the approach to the subject or problem, the use of appropriate terminology and notation to express the ideas and mathematical relationships used, the choice of the most appropriate procedure for each situation, the justification of the different steps of the procedure used, the results obtained and the cleanliness and presentation of the document will be assessed.
Assessment of activities done in the computer labs 10.00% 10.00% Evaluation of the practices in the computer classroom, with the application of specific software.
Progress Tests 20.00% 0.00% To test the progress of the students, at the end of each chapter, they must hand in an academic work consisting of a collection of solved problems in which the problem statement, the use of appropriate terminology and notation to express the ideas and mathematical relations used, the choice of the most appropriate procedure for each situation, the justification of the different steps of the procedure used, the results obtained and the cleanliness and presentation of the document will be assessed.
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:
    The FINAL QUALIFICATION for the course will be calculated using the following expression:

    0.7*FINAL EXAM + 0.2*PROGRESS TESTS + 0.1*COMPUTER PRACTICALS.

    which will be applied provided that the grade of the FINAL TEST is equal to or higher than 4 points. Otherwise, the FINAL QUALIFICATION will be the one obtained in the FINAL TEST.

    In order to obtain the mark for the FINAL EXAMINATION, the following procedure will be followed:

    1. Students who in the two mid-term exams have obtained a mark equal to or higher than 5 points: the mark in the FINAL EXAM will be the average of the marks obtained in both mid-term exams.

    2. Students who in one of the mid-term exams have obtained a mark between 4 and 5 points but whose average with the mark obtained in the other mid-term exam equals or exceeds 5 points: the mark in the FINAL EXAM will be the average of the marks obtained in both mid-term exams.

    3. Students, not covered in section 2, who have obtained a grade equal to or higher than 5 points in one of the mid-term exams (eliminating that subject for the final exam) and lower than 5 points in the other mid-term exam: they will have to take the part corresponding to the subject not eliminated in the final exam. The mark in the FINAL EXAM will be the average of the mark obtained in the mid-term exam and the mark obtained in the part of the final exam corresponding to the subject not eliminated.

    4. Students who have not passed any of the partial exams: they must take the entire final exam. Their grade in the FINAL EXAM will be the grade obtained in the final exam..
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    It will be analogous to the continuous assessment, except that the FINAL QUALIFICATION of the subject will be calculated using the following expression:

    0.9*FINAL EXAM + 0.1*COMPUTER PRACTICES

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
There will be a single final written exam where 90% will be questions, theoretical issues and problems where the approach to the topic or problem, the use of appropriate terminology and notation to express the ideas and mathematical relationships used, the choice of the most appropriate procedure for each situation, the justification of the different steps of the procedure used, the results obtained and the cleanliness and presentation of the document will be assessed; the remaining 10% will be questions related to the computer practices. The student will decide whether or not to participate in the questions related to the computer practices if he/she wants to improve the grade obtained in them in the ordinary exam.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
There will be a single final written exam where 90% will be questions, theoretical issues and problems where the approach to the topic or problem, the use of appropriate terminology and notation to express the ideas and mathematical relationships used, the choice of the most appropriate procedure for each situation, the justification of the different steps of the procedure used, the results obtained and the cleanliness and presentation of the document will be assessed; the remaining 10% will be questions related to the computer practices.
