Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Practice in computer rooms	The students will perform laboratory practice where they will work with concepts studied in the theoretical classes. The practices will be carried out in groups of 2 people. The final grade will be individual, including the assessment of the student's participation during the sessions as well as the individual final report and, in some practices an individual test.	40		B3 B4	C67 C68	D3
Laboratory practises	Each student will perform field practices. The evaluation will be performed by means of a report for a total weight of 10% of the final mark. The practices will be carried out in groups of 2 people. The final grade will be individual, including the assessment of the student's participation during the sessions as well as the individual final report and, in some practices an individual test.	10		B3 B4	C67 C68	D3
Tutored works	The evaluation of the group work will be taken into account as well as the understanding, maturity, importance and originality of the work and interaction between the group. The tutored works will be carried out in groups of 2 people. The final grade will be individual, including the assessment of the student's participation during the sessions as well as the individual final report.	5		B3 B4	C67 C68	D2 D3

Other comments on the Evaluation
At the beginning of the term, the student will choose the assessment methodology: final exam or continuous evaluation. *The teaching language will be English.* Both, documentation and presentations of this subject will be exclusively in English. English shall be used for writing the reports to evaluate the laboratory practices and the tutored works. *The students can use English, Spanish or Galego to respond the final test.* The subject will be evaluated through one of the following mechanisms: *Final exam:* The exam will include questions and/or numerical problems related with the contents presented in master sessions, laboratory practices and tutored works. It will be necessary to obtain 5 points over 10 to pass the exam. Continuous evaluation. The subject will be assessed throughout the entire term: Laboratory practices: each student will have to perform different tasks with a total weight of 40% of the final mark. Tutored works: each student will participate in different tutored works proposed during the lecture period. This part will be evaluated by written reports. These reports will have a total weight of 5% of the final mark. Outdoor study/field practices: each student will perform field practices. A report must be turned in to get a maximum score of 10% of the final grade. Final test: This exam will be the final assessment of the continuous evaluation, and it will have a total weight of 45% of the final mark. Make-up exam (second exam): the student will have to take an exam which will include questions and/or numerical problems related with the contents presented in the master sessions, the laboratory practices and the tutored works (100% of the final mark). Those students following the continuous evaluation can optionally take this exam for the 45% of the final grade. All the different grades are only valid for the current course, and will expire after the second call in case someone needs to take the course again.
