| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Mid-term tests | 40.00% | 0.00% | EC. Eliminatory exam of the Thermodynamics block. The minimum grade for this part to be compensable will be 4 points (out of 10). The percentage of this test represents 50% of the percentage of the final test. ON: Does not apply |
| Final test | 40.00% | 80.00% | EC: If the student has passed the progress test, in the final test they can only be evaluated on the content of the Heat Transfer block. ENC: Final exam of theory and problems of the content of the entire subject. The minimum note for this part to be compensable will be 4 points (with respect to 10) in each one of the two blocks examined. |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 20.00% | 20.00% | Attendance at practices and the presentation of the report are mandatory to evaluate this activity. The minimum grade for this part to be compensable will be 2 points (with respect to 10). |
| 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 grade in continuous assessment will be:
40% progress test + 40% final test + 20% laboratory/computer practices.
In the case that, in an evaluable part the minimum mark to compensate has not been reached, the final mark will not be higher than 4 points (out of 10)
The course is considered passed if the final grade is greater than or equal to 5 (with respec to 10 points). -
Non-continuous evaluation:It will consist of:
i) final test where the contents of the Thermodynamics and Heat Transmission block are evaluated, following the specifications indicated in the evaluation system.
ii) If the student has not carried out the larboratory or computer practices, or has not passed the evaluation of the reports, a laboratory practical exam will be carried out. The minimum note to compensate this part will be 4 points (with respect to 10).
The subject is considered passed if the final grade is greater than or equal to 5 points (with respect to 10).
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The qualifications obtained in each of the tests that have been passed in the ordinary call will be kept. The evaluation criteria will be the same as in the continuous evaluation of the ordinary call.
In the case of not passing the part of laboratory practices in the ordinary call, there will be an exam on the contents of this part (20% of the final grade). The minimum calification to compensate this part will be 4 points (with respect to 10).
In the case of not passing the part of laboratory practices in the ordinary call, there will be an exam on the contents of this part (20% of the final grade). The minimum calification to compensate this part will be 4 points (with respect to 10).
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
In the final exam the same evaluation criteria will be applied as in the non-continuous ordinary call.
