8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 0.00% | The different activities related to the theoretical content of the subject presented in the seminars will be evaluated [PRES]. For those students who select Non-continuous evaluation this activity won't be retaken. |
| Laboratory sessions | 45.00% | 45.00% | Continuous evaluation --------------------------------- The laboratory work will be carried out in groups of 3-4 people. 3 EVALUATIONS will be conducted throughout the semester for each one of the Iterations (1-3). Thus, the mark of Laboratory will be calculated as: Laboratory = 10% Iteration 1 + 30% Iteration 2 + 60% Iteration 3 In case of failing, the student must attend the Extraordinary Call, which will take place at the end of February. The mark of each one of the evaluations will be assigned in a hybrid way: group and individual. In each evaluation, the following will be carried out: - group tasks, whose evaluation will depend on the result generated by the group as a whole, - individual tasks, the evaluation will depend on the work of each student. In the evaluation process, the teachers of the subject will choose which people of the group will be responsible for presenting the work done. In each of the evaluation acts, both the work done in the laboratory [LAB] (22.5%) and the requested reports [INF] (22.5%) will be evaluated. In addition, the CO2, CO3, CO8, PER1, SIS4 competences will be also evaluated. NON-CONTINUOUS Evaluation --------------------------------------- Alternatively, if the students decide to follow the NON-CONTINUOUS evaluation, the student will present the project carried out and the same criteria and requirements will be applied as for the continuous evaluation. The NON-CONTINUOUS evaluation will be carried out on the same date as the evaluation of Iteration 3 in the Ordinary call. The Extraordinary call will be evaluated at the end of February. |
| Final test | 45.00% | 45.00% | A final exam [ESC] will be carried out to evaluate both theoretical and practical contents. Moreover, competences CO2 and CO8 will be also evaluated. |
| Other methods of assessment | 10.00% | 10.00% | [Optional] Teams participating in international contests, such as Imagine CUP or ACM Student Research Competition, as result of their work in the subject may obtain 1 additional point. Such point will be obtained provided the team has really submitted its work achieving certain quality levels, once it has been approved by the teacher, and having a final score higher or equal than 5 out of 10 for both Theory and Lab sessions. |
| Other methods of assessment | 10.00% | 10.00% | [Optional] Those students interested in carrying out a theoretical/practical report related to a topic of the subject, may obtain 1 additional point once such work has been approved by the teacher. |
| Total: | 120.00% | 110.00% |
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 subject, the student must obtain a 5 in the subject satisfying the following criteria:
- Theory [ESC]: To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain 4 out of 10.
- Laboratory[INF] [LAB]: To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain 4 out of 10. The practical mark will be saved for future calls as long as the score is higher than 5.
The Final grade of the subject will be calculated as:
Final = (Final test * 0.45) + (Laboratory* 0.45) + Active Participation + Optional Assignments + Contests
If Theory [ESC] or Laboratory[INF] [LAB] are lesser than 4 out of 10, then Final Grade of the subject will be FAILED and the score of the subject will be calculated as the minimum between [Final] and 4,0.
It is mandatory that Final must be greater than or equal to 5 in order to pass the subject.
By default, all the students will be evaluated by continuous assessment. In case someone wishes to change to non-continuous evaluation, he/she will use the following link to notify it before the end of the semester:
https://www.esiiab.uclm.es/alumnos/evaluacion.php
Any student may change to the non-continuous assessment mode as long as they have not participated during the teaching period in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject. If a student has achieved that 50% of assessable activities or if, in any case, the class period has ended, it will be considered in continuous evaluation without the possibility of change evaluation modality. -
Non-continuous evaluation:To pass the subject, the student must obtain a 5 in the subject satisfying the following criteria:
- Theory [ESC]: To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain 4 out of 10.
- Laboratory[INF] [LAB]: To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain 4 out of 10. The practical mark will be saved for future calls as long as the score is higher than 5.
The Final grade of the subject will be calculated as:
Final = (Final test * 0.45) + (Laboratory* 0.45) + Active Participation + Optional Assignements + Contests
If Theory [ESC] or Laboratory[INF] [LAB] are lesser than 4 out of 10, then Final Grade of the subject will be FAILED and the score of the subject will be calculated as the minimum between [Final] and 4,0.
It is mandatory that Final must be greater than or equal to 5 in order to pass the subject.
