Laboratory practicals
CE4
CE8
 The practical sessions will be evaluated through the attendance, which is mandatory for all the students except for those students who have failed to pass the subject, and through a practical test or practical exercise that will be done on the last day of the laboratory session. If you do not attend practical sessions you will not be able to evaluate the subject in any examination call and will be considered NOT PRESENTED. You must attend 100% of the practical lessons. However, those students who have missed more than two practices for justified causes will be given an additional test exclusively from these parts of the program. 10%
Seminars
CE4
CE8
 Online evaluation. The Seminars will consist of oral presentation that will be made by students in groups of 3 or 4 about a recent publication. The members of each working group, as well as the publication, will be assigned by the teachers in charge of the seminars. These publications will increase with practical examples, as well the contents explained in the theoretical lessons. Each component of the group must present a part of the work to be evaluated. Teachers and classmates may ask about the exposed work. Evaluation of the exposition represent 10% of the seminar mark. At the end of each seminar, there will be an evaluation of the topic developed that will consist of 5 True / False questions (10 minutes to answer) (10% seminars mark). The mark of the seminars will be kept during the following academic year for the repeating students, and for a single time. 20%
Mixed tests
CE4
CE8
 The contents of the program explained in the lectures will be evaluated through a partial exam and a final or synthesis exam that must be passed with a minimum mark of 5 out of 10 to be considered passed. The exams will include questions like tests, short questions or illustrated problems about the thematic blocks. Students who have passed the partial exam will not have to examine this part of the contents in the final exam.
The final mark of the theoretical subjects will be the one derived from the average of the two exams passed (70%) plus the mark obtained in the seminars (20%) plus the practical question (10%). If someone fail the evaluation (partial and / or final) the final mark will be suspended only if obtained from the average of both exams extrapolated to 70%.
Those students who have not passed one of the examinations will have the opportunity to take a review of the content suspended (second call). The second call will have the same structure that the final exam. As in other evaluations, it must be passed with a minimum mark of 5 out of 10. If not, the final mark will be only the mark obtained in the theoretical exams (extrapolated to its value of 70%) and neither the practical nor seminar notes will be added.
 70%
Others  

Repeating students will not have to repeat the practical lessons if they were attended all the sessions, but they would be examined about practical contents if they failed the practical test in the previous course. Likewise, it will not be necessary to do the seminars again and the mark will be saved only during the following academic year. The passed partial notes of the theoretical contents are not saved for the following academic year.

 
Other comments and second exam session

Although this course is not offered in English, foreign exchange students will receive personalised support in English and will be able to develop the evaluation activities in this language.

With the spirit of orienting the student to obtain the optimal results (maximum grade), we recommend following these suggestions:

1. When the student is asked about a concept, then is expected to answer 3 basispoints:

a. What is? (structure, composition, specific process that is carried out)

b. Where is it? (location of the structure or process) and

c. What is it for? (the specific function of the part, stage or process)

Likewise, and if applicable, it is expected that you put a specific example or make a drawing if relevant.

2. If the question recommends answer with a diagram or with a schematic drawing,it is important to do so clearly and comprehensively.

If it is appropriate it will be complemented with a brief explanation.

3. Students who want to review their exam will have to bring their notes in order to be able to verify and more accurately evaluate the reason for the mark obtained.

During the exams, mobile phones, tablets, andother devices that are not expressly authorized for the test, must be turnedoff and out of sight.

The demonstrable fraudulent activity during any evaluation, both in manuscript material, virtual or electronic support, entails the student's suspense note of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this,given the seriousness of the events, the centre may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be opened by resolution of the rector.
