8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Mid-term tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | Continuous: Two midterm exams will take place throughout the course. The first exam corresponds to units 1 to 3 with a weight of 21% and the second one corresponds to the rest of the contents with a weight of 49%. Approximately, in the middle of the course the first exam will take place. If the score obtained is less than 4 out of 10, this exam can be retaken later in the ordinary call, which it will also include the exam corresponding to the rest of the contents. To pass the course it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 4 out of 10 in each of these exams. Non-continuous: non-applicable. |
| Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 15.00% | Continuous: The students should submit a lab report including all the magnitudes measured in the lab as well as the corresponding computations. The evaluation of the report will consider the mistmaches between the measurements and the calculated magnitudes as well as the exactness of the calculus. The report will be made on an individual basis and will consist of completing a questionnaire in Campus Virtual before deadlines. The reports' assessment will be posted within 1 month after its submission (the automatic rating posted by Campus Virtual is invalid). Non-continuous: There will be an exam corresponding to lab sessions. In the lab, the student should make different circuit connections and take the corresponding measurements. |
| Final test | 0.00% | 70.00% | Continuous: Non-applicable. Non-continuous: The final exam may include problems and questions about theoretical or lab concepts. The assessment will not only consider the correctness of the explanations but also the results' consistency. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 15.00% | 15.00% | Continuous: The students should upload the solution of selected problems to an online application before deadlines. Non-continuous: The students should answer a online quizz posted in Campus Virtual before the final test. |
| 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:- To pass the course it is compulsory to have a minimum score of 4 out of 10 in the two midterm tests.
- To pass the course it is compulsory to attend to all laboratory sessions as well as to send the reports after each laboratory session within the deadline. -
Non-continuous evaluation:This assesment include three parts that cover all the competences of the course:
1. A final exam with theoretical and / or practical questions. This part represents 70% of the final mark.
2. Theoretical and practical examination of the laboratory sessions. This part represents 15% of the final mark.
3. An online quizz available in Campus Virtual. This part represents 15% of the final mark.
To pass the course it is compulsory to have a minimum score of 4 out of 10 in the final exam.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Same criteria applied for the ordinary call.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same criteria applied for the ordinary call.
