Final grade calculation in continuous assessment

- Both theoretical partial exams, in which the mixed tests are divided, will have the same weight on the computation of the final grade (30 % each one).

- Each practical class written report will assessed independently and all the reports will have the same weight in the computation of the final grade (10 reports for a total of 20%).

- Each multiple-choice test for the work previous to the practical laboratory sessions will be independently assessed and all of the tests will have the same weight in the computation of the final grade (10 multiple-choice tests with a total weight of 10 %).

- The final grade in continuous assessment will be obtained as the weighted average of the four methodologies specified in this section, as long as the following conditions are fulfilled:

a) In order to obtain a pass grade, a minimum grade of 3 will be required for every partial theory exam. In the case any of such exams does not overcome such minimum grade, the final grade will be the lowest of the theory partial exams.

b) In order to obtain a pass grade, a minimum grade of 4 will be required for the average of the two partial theory exams. In the case this minimum average is not overcome, the final grade will be the average of the two partial theory exams.

c) In order to obtain a pass grade, a minimum grade of 4 will be required for the weighted average of the practical tests (20 % over 40 % for the written reports, 10 % over 40 % for the previous works multiple-choice test and 10 % over 40 % for the practical exam). In the case this minimum average is not overcome, the final grade will the the weighted average of the practical tests.

d) The accomplishment of the 10 practical laboratory classes is mandatory to obtain a grade for he practical tests. If any of the 10 practical laboratory classes cannot be carried out at the designated time, it can be performed at an alternative time, within the lectures period.

Computation of the final grade in second call

The second call will be composed of two tests:

1. A single theory mixed test in which the subjects corresponding to the two different theoretical partial exams will be evaluated separately. Each of these partial evaluations will have a weight of 30 % with respect to the final grade. Consequently, the grade obtained in this theory mixed test will account for a 60 % of the final grade. The student will have the option of keeping the grade obtained for any of the theoretical partial exams in the continuous evaluation period, and choose to be only evaluated for the subjects of the first or the second partial theory exam.

2. A single practical exam. The grade of this exam will have a weight of 40 % in the final grade.

- The final grade will be the weighted sum of the two specified tests for the second call, provided the following conditions are fulfilled:

a) In order to obtain a pass grade, a minimum grade of 3 will be required for every separated evaluation of the partial theory exam. In the case any of such separated evaluatioons does not overcome such minimum grade, the final grade will be the lowest of the theory partial exams.

b) In order to obtain a pass grade, a minimum grade of 4 will be required for the single theory mixed test, taking into account the options of the student concerning partial evaluations. In the case this minimum is not overcome, the final grade will be the grade of the single theory mixed test.

c) In order to obtain a pass grade, a minimum grade of 4 will be required for the single practical exam. In the case this minimum is not overcome, the final grade will be the grade of the single practical exam.

d) The accomplishment of the 10 practical laboratory classes is mandatory to obtain a grade for he practical tests. If any of the 10 practical laboratory classes cannot be carried out at the designated time, it can be performed at an alternative time, within the lectures period.

Regulations concerning the exams:

In all the theoretical tests carried out by the student present at an examination room, the availability or the use of electronic devices with information storage of information exchange properties will not be allowed. Calculators with memory for data storage, smartphones, tablets, cell phones, computers, headphones, 'google glass', Apple Watch' and any other that could appear in the future.

A valid identification can be required at any moment of the tests and necessary measures will be taken for the personal or automated surveillance and control during the access and development of the tests.

In the case of the detection of a fraud in any of the tests, the academic regulations of the URV will be applied, what results in a fail grade for the call corresponding with the test.
