8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 50.00% | 50.00% | In the subject of Advanced Materials there will be only one final test that will be carried out in the ordinary and extraordinary call. It will be mandatory to achieve a minimum of 4 points out of 10 to make an average with the rest of the evaluable activities. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 35.00% | 35.00% | During the course the student must carry out a group work and an oral presentation about it in class. If the student has not done this activity during the course, they must take a test of this part that evaluates the same skills that are acquired in carrying out these practical cases. This is valid both in the ordinary and in the extraordinary call. |
| Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 15.00% | Attendance at practices and delivery of memory is mandatory to be evaluated with 15% of the final grade. If the student does not pass this activity during the course, they must take a test that allows evaluating similar competences both in the ordinary and extraordinary calls, and must obtain a minimum of 4 points out of 10 to make an average with the rest of the evaluable activities. |
| 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:Students who have passed the practicals and group work will take an exam with questions related to the syllabus of the subject that will have a weight of 50%. It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in each of the tests to make an average with the rest of the evaluable activities.
If the student has not passed the laboratory practices during the course, this part must be examined in the final test, obtaining a minimum of 4 points out of 10 to make an average with the rest of the evaluable activities. The weight of this block in the final grade is 15% of the overall grade for the subject.
If the student has not done the group work during the course, they must take an exam for this part that evaluates the same skills that are acquired in carrying out this activity and that will have a weight of 35% in the overall grade of the subject.
The subject will only be considered passed if the student has obtained at least 5 out of 10 in all the evaluation tests.
The group work that must be exhibited in class is compulsory and not recoverable to pass the subject.
Once approved the group work and laboratory practices, these notes will be saved for successive calls. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The student will be evaluated in a final test that will have a weight of 50% in the overall grade of the subject.
If the student has not done the laboratory practices, they must take a theoretical-practical exam that allows evaluating the competences that are acquired after completing the practices and that will have a weight of 15% in the overall grade of the subject.
If the student has not done the group work during the course, they must take an exam of this part that evaluates the same skills that are acquired in carrying out this activity and that will have a weight of 35% in the overall grade of the subject. .
The subject will only be considered passed if the student has obtained at least 5 out of 10 in all the evaluation tests.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Students who have passed the practices and group work during the course will take an exam with questions related to the subject's syllabus, whose weight will be 50% of the final grade. In this modality it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 4 points out of 10 to make an average with the rest of the evaluable activities.
If, on the other hand, the student has not passed or carried out the laboratory practices during the course, they must also be examined in this part in the final test, the weight of this block in the final grade is 15%.
Group work can be recovered by making an individual oral presentation on a Material Selection topic. The weight of this block in the final grade is 35%.
The subject will only be considered passed if the student has obtained at least 5 out of 10 in all the evaluation tests.
If, on the other hand, the student has not passed or carried out the laboratory practices during the course, they must also be examined in this part in the final test, the weight of this block in the final grade is 15%.
Group work can be recovered by making an individual oral presentation on a Material Selection topic. The weight of this block in the final grade is 35%.
The subject will only be considered passed if the student has obtained at least 5 out of 10 in all the evaluation tests.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The evaluation criteria are the same as in the the resit/retake exam:
