Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Tutored works	Tutored practical project, with the delivery of a final report. The learning aims related to the ability to elaborate projects and application of calculation methods (numerical methods) are assesed. Learning aims related to the identification of problems are also assessed (through the application of numerical calculations).	25		B2 B5 B7	C75 C77
Short answer tests	Written test, with short questions on the theory of the subject. Evaluation of learning aims involving knowledge of legislation and how to perform measurements.	25		B2 B5
Jobs and projects	Questions and report of the practical tasks. Evaluation of those learning aims related to noise measurement and analysis of acoustic problems using numerical calculations.	50		B5 B7	C76 C77

Other comments on the Evaluation
Following the guidelines of the degree, two systems of evaluation are offered: continuous assessment (recommended) and a final examination. Evaluation with only a final examination will be only allowed in situations in which it is imposible to follow the system recommended. LANGUAGE: Any student can choose which language will use during the assessment process (English, Spanish). CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: In order to be qualiffied following the continuous assessment proccess, the student will have to assist at least to the 80% of the programmed activities. The continuous assessment will be based in the evaluation of practical task, projects and two tests. Once a student has signed a document of agreement with the process of continuous assessment, the final degree will be obtained by the application of the criteria described bellow, even though a student could miss some of the tasks or tests envolved in the process. Once the student has shown good skills in all the assesed learning aims (at least 4 over 10 points in each learning aim assesed), the final grade with be obtained from the weighted sum of the grade obtained in the following tasks with the weights given. Reports/memories of practical exersices involving calculations with finite elements (FEM), that should be delivered around the week 11 (25% of the final grade). Tutored works focused on the application of numerical methods to basic problems in acoustics. (50% of the final grade) Short answer tests, around the week 9 (10 % of the final grade) Individual test containing problems and practical exercises (15 % of the final note) Tutored works are developed in groups. The final grade will be weighted taking into account the results of a cross assesment survey. To consider as "satiscactory" the contribution of each student to the group a minimum grade of 2 over 5 points is stablished. The studenst have to show good skills in all the learning outcomes, therefore, four points over a ten points scale must be obtained in all the learning outcomes evaluated during the continuous evaluation process. The final grade will be obtaining through the addition of the grades obtained during the process with the weights given before. At least five over ten points should be obtained to pass the subject. If it happens that the minimum requirement (4 over 10 points in all the learming outcomes) is not fullfilled and the weighted average is greater than 5 points, the final grade will be 4 over 10 points. FINAL EXAMINATION (Continous Assesment) The final examination consists in two tests (tasks 3 and 4 described before). Those students having less than four points in some of the practical tasks (1 and 2) should deliver those aditional jobs required by the teachers of the subjetc on the date of the final examination. NON CONTINUOUS ASSESMENT: A final examination is available for those students that for some reason could not follow the continuous evaluation assessment process. In this case there is date scheduled and officially published for final examination. The final examination will consist in two short answer tests, and some additional questions related with the practical tasks and projects. The subject is assessed in a 0 to 10 points scale and it is considered "passed" if the final grade obtained if equal or greater than 5. RETAKE: There is scheduled date at the end of the semester for a final examination retake, for those students that either dropped out during the semester or failed. Prior the examination, a student can choose to follow the continuous assessment or the final examination. In the former selection, the grades obtained in the projects and practical tasks will be taken into account and the student will only answer to the short answer tests. If the later, (final examination), the student will have also to answer a full examination as described before.
