8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System

Evaluation System	Continuous assessment	Non-continuous evaluation *	Description
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies	10.00%	0.00%	PRES: Presentation and defense of problem solving and case studies.
Projects	10.00%	0.00%	PRES: Presentation and defense of the Prototype proposed for the course.
Practical exam	0.00%	35.00%	ESC: Evaluation test on the Laboratory practices and the Prototype.
Theoretical exam	0.00%	65.00%	ESC: Written evaluation test on the material taught in Theory classes and resolution of the Activities, Questions and Problems.
Mid-term tests	50.00%	0.00%	ESC: Average of the partial exams (two written tests on the material taught in Theory classes and resolution of Activities, Questions and Problems).
Self Evaluation and Co-evaluation	5.00%	0.00%	ESC: Evaluation tests on the subject matter taught in each Topic.
Laboratory sessions	25.00%	0.00%	LAB: Supervision of the work done in the laboratory by the student.
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:

By default, the student will be evaluated by continuous evaluation. If you wish to change to non-continuous evaluation, you must indicate it through the following link https://www.esiiab.uclm.es/alumnos/evaluacion.php before the end of the term.
The student who chooses the continuous evaluation, to pass the subject is necessary to obtain a minimum of 4/10 in each of the written partial tests (midterm exams) and in the Prototype (Work). The student who does not pass this minimum grade required in any of these parts of the course will have a grade no higher than 4.00 even if the overall average obtained considering all the parts is other, including more than 5.00. The student will be able to retake the partial exam(s) or the Prototype with a grade lower than 4, keeping the rest of the grades obtained by continuous evaluation during the course.
Non-continuous evaluation:

By default, the student will be evaluated by continuous evaluation. If you wish to change to non-continuous evaluation, you must indicate it through the following link https://www.esiiab.uclm.es/alumnos/evaluacion.php before the end of the term.
The student who chooses the non-continuous evaluation, for the overall grade of the subject in this call, the evaluations obtained in the different training activities carried out during the continuous evaluation of the subject will not be saved. All the training activities carried out during the course will be evaluated by means of two specific tests: A THEORETICAL EXAM (65%) and a PRACTICAL EXAM (35%). No minimums are established in either of the two parts.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:

For the overall grade of the course in this retake exam, the same evaluation criteria of the ordinary call will be followed. The student will be able to retake the partial exam(s) or the Prototype with a grade lower than 4, keeping the rest of the grades obtained by continuous evaluation in the ordinary exam.

Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:

For the overall grade of the course in this retake, the evaluations obtained in the different training activities carried out during the continuous evaluation of the course will not be saved. All the training activities carried out during the course will be evaluated by means of two specific tests: A THEORETICAL EXAM (65%) and a PRACTICAL EXAM (35%). No minimums are established in either of the two parts.
