8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 0.00% | 70.00% | |
| Laboratory sessions | 30.00% | 30.00% | qualification equal to or greater than 4 points out of 10 to overcome the course. |
| Mid-term tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | |
| 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 theory mark will be the average of the marks obtained in the different mid-term tests carried out.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:It will consist of two tests: 1) Theoretical test that will be worth 70% of the overal rating and will have the same format as the mid-term tests, 2) Practical test of simulation with Matlab, or alternative practical work, which will be worth 30% of the overal rating.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The evaluation criteria in the resist/retake exam are the same as those used in the non-continuous evaluation of the final exam.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Evaluation criteria not defined
