Grading
The evaluation is based on three different activities: 30% from Labs + 40% from the challenge + 30% exam.
Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
If the student submits some of the activities, he will have a final mark. You will obtain a "no presentat" only if you dont' submit any activity for evaluation.
Single Assessment:
The student can undertake avaluació única ("Single evaluation"), by means of a single exam that will take into account the contents of all competences that should be acquired in the module.
Minimum requirements to pass:
Per considerar superada l’assignatura, caldrà obtenir una qualificació mínima de 5.0
To pass the module, a minimum mark of 5 over 10 is needed.
Mentorship
To stablish the appointments students can use moodle or sent emails to the teachers. These appointments can be done online via Teams meetings or in presence (Teacher offices)
Communication and interaction with students
The communitation and interaction with the student will be mainly done via moodle, having also specific forums for all the activities.
Students can also interact with the teacher via email or via videoconferences (google meet).
Design Amendment
Amendment of activities:
The course have been designed in a way that no change in the activities will be necessary.
Amendment of the assessment:
Evaluation will be done following the criteria discussed in the semipresencial scenario (no additional changes).
Mentoring and communication:
To stablish the appointments, students can use moodle or emails. This appointments can be done online via google meet meetings or in presence (offices of P4 Building).
The communitation and interaction with the student will be mainly done via moodle, having also specific forums for all the activities. As said before, videoconferences or mentoring in person could be also done.
