Assessment activities: Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject In-class activities Active participation in all the in-class proposed activities 10 No Assignments Delivery of the proposed assignments. The correctness of the solution as well at the correct technical presentation of the associated reports will be evaluated 45 No Final exam Correctness of the solutions to the questions and exercises of the final exam 45 Yes
- 50% assignments - 50% final exam Specific criteria for the "No show" grade: Students no taking the final exam and/or not delivering the assignments will receive a Not Presented (NP) mark Single Assessment: Single-evaluation is not possible in this course Minimum requirements to pass: - A minimum final mark of 5 over 10 is required to pass the course - The final mark will be calculated according to the indicated percentages for each activity type if the mark in the final exam is at least 4 over 10. - If the mark in the final exam is lower than 4 over 10, the final mark of the course will be limited to 4.5 over 10.
There will be specified weekly time frames for tutorships. E-mail can be also used to solve questions or doubts and set tutorship appointments out of the specified times frames
