The students can choose the method of evaluation, continuous or single. Continuous Evaluation (CE) consist of 4 previous tests plus a final exam: - Two partial exams, PE1 and PE2, of short duration (one hour) in the 7th week (between February 26 and March 2) and 13th week (between April 9 and 13), covering units 1 to 4, and 5 to 8, respectively. Each partial exam has a weight of 10% on the final grade.
- The development of a network program (NP). The last day of practical classes must be delivered by the deadline. Compliance with the requirements and quality of software will determine the qualification of this test. This program must be made and delivered compulsorily on an individual basis. The PR will represent 20% of the Final Grade (FG), being necessary to reach 3.5 points out of 10 in this test to be able to surpass the subject.
- Participation in online activities (OA), which represent 10% of the Final Grade (FG). Throughout the course will be proposed 8 activities to be delivered in the virtual classroom of the subject. These activities will consist of small tasks to be done before or after the practical classes, and self-assessment tests will also be done. In each activity the student will get a certain amount of accumulated points of play throughout the course. In the tests can be obtained between 0 and 10 game points, depending on the number of hits achieved. In the tasks will always have a minimum of points of play by the simple delivery of the task in time and form, and optionally an additional amount can be assigned to perform the task in a satisfactory or correct way. In addition to these 8 activities, teachers will be able to allocate additional points to students for having participated prominently in the class or for actively participating in virtual classroom forums to try to resolve peer doubts. In any case, the maximum mark in this section (10% of the total of the subject) will be obtained by every student who correctly delivers and answers the 8 activities. Students who obtain a score equivalent to twice the average or the median, the lowest of them, will also receive the maximum score. The rest of the students will receive a grade proportional to the minimum between: the score equivalent to the delivery of the 8 tasks, twice the median and twice the average.
- A final exam (FE) written on all the contents of the subject, which has a weight of 50% on the Final Grade (FG) and where it is necessary to reach 3.5 points out of 10 to be able to surpass the subject.
FG-CE = 0.1×PE1 + 0.1×PE2 + 0.1×OA + 0.2×NP + 0.5×FE if FE and NP> = 3.5
In case of not reaching in the FE the minimum grade of 3.5, the final grade will be that obtained in FE ==> FG-CE = FE
In case of not reaching in the NP the minimum grade of 3.5 (but in the FE), the final grade will that obtained in the NP ==> FG-CE = NP
It is considered that a student choose CE when presenting to any partial exam, PE1 or PE2, choice that is maintained until end of course. Failure to submit a continuous assessment test involves a qualification of "0" on that test.
Students who do not take part in any partial exam are obliged to take the Single Evaluation (SE).
Single Evaluation (SE)
It will consist in the realization of the same FE at the end of the term, and in the delivery of the proposed network program (NP) for those who go through the CE. The delivery dates will also be the same.
The grade of NP in this case is simply APT (with a
numeric value 1), if the qualification of this program is equal or greater than 5.0, or NOT APT (with a
numeric value 0) if the quelification is less than 5.0 or if the NP is not delivered, in which case
the final grade will be 40% of the FE. That is,
FG-SE = (0.4 + 0.6 × NP) × FE
Second Evaluation (june/july)
There will be a second evaluation with a new FE and it
will also be allowed to deliver a new NP consisting of a modified version of
the program of the first evaluation, and whose specifications will be published
with at least 4 weeks with respect to the deadline of the Final Exam. Any
students, regardless of having opted for CE or SE, will be able to do this FE
and present a new NP. Those students that passed the subject in the
first evaluation that want to attend the second one will have to present a
signed letter asking the subject coordinator to assign them a "Not
Presented" mark in the minutes of the first evaluation. The last day to
present this letter is the day of the revision of the first evaluation exam.
For students who chose CE, these FE and NP represent
an opportunity to improve the grade in these with respect to the first
evaluation, and so the calculation of the final grade considers the best grade
obtained.
For students who chose to SE, the FE and the NP are
considered joint and inseparable, that is,
FG-SE = Max{(0.4 + 0.6×NP-1st) × FE-1st, (0.4 + 0.6NP-2nd) × FE-2nd}
Those students who had chosen CE but they want to change to SE for this second call, they must communicate it to the coordinator of the subject before the review of the examination of the first call. In this case, the conditions to approve the subject are exactly the same as those of the rest of the students that are presented by SE, being therefore obligatory the delivery of a new PR with the specifications of this second call.
All students that assists to any of the written tests
will be considered for evaluation in this subject.
The grades of all written tests, partial or final,
programs and activities will only take effect in the academic year in which
they are proposed.
In case of detection of plagiarism in any of the works/test/exams, the final qualification will be Suspense (0) and this case will be communicated to the academic authorities.
In case of any contradiction that may occur between the different versions of the guide, due to some error in the translation, the version that will prevail is the Galician language version. |
