The final mark of the course will be determined through the evaluation of the resolution of proposed assignments (AS) and reports delivered during the course by the students and the final exam (FE).
If the mark in the final exam is at least 4 over 10, The final mark will be calculated according to:
FM= 0.5·AS + 0.5·FE
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.
The student will have to present individual, or sometimes in group, original reports or Finite Element models covering all the contents of the course. The mark of the assignments category will be the mean of the individual marks of each activity in this category.
All students' reports and FEA models will be corrected and evaluated and returned to the students to improve the assimilation of the different concepts of the course.
Assignment activities cannot be retaken.
The use of AI tools is permitted for information search, computer code generation, the preparation of a first draft of documents to be delivered or presented, and the linguistic improvement of texts. However, the student is fully responsible for this, and must understand, validate and be able to justify the proposals used through AI. This justification will be verified through specific questions in oral defenses or similar activities; the inability to adequately defend the presented contents will imply a negative assessment in the evaluation of the activity (with a non-pass of the activity or a penalty of the grade). Regarding the use of AI in writing texts, the student is required to carry out a critical reading of the results, avoiding repetitions and unnecessarily long texts.
During the final exam, students may not enter the classroom with any electronic or communication device switched on (this includes, among others, mobile phones, computers, tablets, smartwatches, and similar devices). If any of these devices are brought into the classroom, they must be switched off and properly stored in backpacks or bags.
If, during the grading process, the teaching staff detects reasonable indications of fraud, they may classify the activity as fraudulent.
Fraudulent conduct shall include, among others, the use of unauthorized information or devices, the use of false information, impersonation, total or partial plagiarism, as well as the buying or selling of exams, problems, assignments, FEA models or coursework.
The detection of fraudulent conduct will result in a grade of 0 for the corresponding assessment activity. Furthermore, depending on the nature of the fraud, the School’s Directorate may initiate the procedures established in Law 3/2022, of 24 February, on university coexistence, and apply the measures set out in Article 21 of the regulations governing the assessment and grading processes of students at the University of Girona.
The teaching staff reserves the right to validate the grade of an activity in order to verify its authorship and grading, in accordance with the course’s assessment methodology and the applicable regulations.
