Methodologies |
Description | |
Problem solving, classroom exercises | Development: They are developed by means of blackboard class and multimedia presentation. In the problem classes, exercises of different complexity are solved, performing all the steps on the blackboard. In addition, exercises will be proposed to be solved by the students. Resources: Classroom equipment (video projector, computer, blackboard...). |
Laboratory practicals | Development: Groups will be created with a very small number of students to carry out a practical work assigned to each group consisting in the realization of the practices indicated in the program, and the elaboration of the corresponding practice report. |
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | Development: Groups will be created with a very small number of students to develop a practical work, commissioned to each group, consisting of the drafting of a project related to the contents of the course. The students will have at their disposal documentation and the necessary material for the realization of the project. In this way, with the clarifications made by the teacher, the student will be able to carry out the practical work. |
Seminars | Los alumnos asistirán a una presentación por parte de un fabricante de equipos de protecciones eléctricas y el desarrollo de un programa informático específico y han de desarrollar un trabajo monográfico a realizar individualmente o por grupos muy reducidos y presentar y defender ante el profesor y el resto de sus compañeros. |

Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | Evaluation of the practical work that will assess the skills acquired by the student in the practical application of the knowledge. It is required to have delivered and passed 100% of the required work. | 10% | |
Laboratory practicals | Evaluation of the practical work that will assess the skills acquired by the student in the practical application of the knowledge. It is required to have delivered and passed 100% of the required work. | 15% | |
Seminars | Evaluation of the practical work that will assess the skills acquired by the student in the practical application of the knowledge. It is required to have delivered and passed 100% of the required work. | 5% | |
Mixed tests | Written exams on theoretical knowledge and problems. It will count for 70% of the grade. These tests will fundamentally evaluate the mastery of the basic knowledge of the subject. Another aspect that will be evaluated with this test is the structuring of the contents, and the correct resolution of the proposed problems. There will be two written exams, on the dates indicated. In case of not obtaining a grade higher than 5.0, it will be considered not passed the subject reached by the corresponding exam. The minimum grade for averaging the partial evaluations must be at least 4.0. If no exam is passed, the student will not be eligible for a partial evaluation test. In case of passing one of the two exams, the student will be able to take a partial evaluation test (for the part he/she did not pass). In case of passing all the tests, the student will be eligible for an improvement evaluation test. Failure to pass the mixed tests means not passing the course. |
70 % | |
Others | These tests will evaluate the transversal and specific competences indicated. The grading system will be in accordance with R.D. 1125/2003 |

COMMENTS ON COURSE EVALUATION Evaluation in the First Sitting In the case of evaluation in the first sitting, the practical exercises, whose submission and passing with a minimum score of 5 points is mandatory to be able to take the exam, will count towards the percentage indicated in the evaluation criteria. To pass the course in the first sitting, a minimum score of 5 points in the weighted overall grade must be achieved, according to the criteria outlined in the course guide. Mixed Tests The student will undergo a theory and problem test during the course review period. The date and time of this test will be determined during the course delivery.
No average will be calculated if any score does not exceed 4.0 out of 10.0. The maximum duration of the exam will be 3 hours. Submission of Practical Tests and Assignments All practical tests required during the course will be submitted through Moodle in digital format. The submission format must adhere to the requirements outlined in the instructions for each practice, preferably in PDF format. Each practice will specify the required submission format, and submissions in any other format will not be accepted. Non-compliant submissions will be graded as 0 but will still count as submitted and will be averaged with the rest of the practices. The student will adjust the size (MB) as permitted by the platform. The student will have the deadline indicated in the teaching platform, and late submissions will not be accepted. All submission files must be named as required in the practice or assignment prompt. Assignments failing to meet this requirement will be graded as submitted and will receive a score of 0 (averaged with the rest of the practices). Submission of practices and assignments is mandatory, and obtaining a minimum score of 5 points in each is required to pass the practical component of the course. No averaging with other practices will be done if this condition is not met, and therefore, the practices will be considered not passed, and each practice will need to be repeated until the minimum score is achieved, as instructed. The weight of practical tests will be as indicated in the course guide. Other If other activities are undertaken, they may be evaluated additionally to improve the final grade of the course but will never serve to pass it. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AND SECOND AND EXTRAORDINARY SITTINGS EXTRAORDINARY SITTINGS The second sitting and any extraordinary sittings will consist of a single test with questions of any type. In these sittings, 100% of the grade will be based on the exam, but passing the practical component of the course, as per the criteria outlined in the course guide, is essential to pass the course. Obtaining a score of 5.0 out of 10.0 in the test is required to pass the course. ATTENDANCE TO INDIVIDUAL TESTS AND REVIEWS The student must bring valid identification. The level of the tests will be equal to or higher than what has been covered in class so that brighter students can aim for outstanding grades. The exam may be video-recorded, and any performance may be subsequently checked for fraud or cheating. The existing anti-fraud regulations at ULE will be rigorously followed. If a student is found to have cheated, the current ULE regulations will be applied at all times or an investigation will be initiated if necessary. The student will attend the exam or test after having read the examination regulations approved by the Governing Council of the University of León, which will be rigorously applied. As a general rule, and unless otherwise specified, the student will enter the exam room with only basic writing material and a non-programmable calculator. If any additional material such as a programmable calculator, notes, additional documentation, or computer equipment is allowed, it will be announced appropriately on the teaching platform. Water in a transparent bottle may be brought into the exam room. Any other items such as pencil cases, staplers, backpacks, etc., except for outerwear, will be left in the designated area or, if not available, in the area farthest from the desks. Outerwear will be hung on designated racks; however, all desks and chairs in the room will be free. It is expressly prohibited for the student to have any communication devices - phone, tablet, or similar - in the exam room. It is expressly forbidden to speak with another student or request any type of material once entering the exam room. The use of pens and mechanical pencils is strictly prohibited. Any red markings will be considered part of the teacher's corrections or explanations. Leaving the exam room and re-entering while another student is still working on an exercise of the exam or test is not permitted. No food or drink of any kind except water is allowed in the exam room. An exercise will be considered correct if the solution does not differ by more than 10% in excess or deficiency, units are correct, and the procedure followed by the student leads to the calculation noted in the indicated box. There will be no intermediate evaluations for each independent scoring section. Exam sheets with strikeouts, blots, illegibility, or failure to meet specific requirements outlined in the exam will not be corrected. Exam sheets lacking student information - ID, name, and surnames - will not be corrected. More than 5 spelling mistakes will allow the teacher to stop correcting the exam, as some of the competencies outlined in this course guide are not met. Any test in the course may be oral or written, and prior notice is not required. Any test that must be conducted outside the established dates and times to comply with higher-level legal provisions will always be oral in the presence of three or more department members. Submitting the exam after the final declared time during execution entitles non-correction of the exam. At the time of submission, exams submitted within the agreed-upon time will be separated from those submitted afterward. Reviewing any test or exam will be governed by the regulations outlined in the examination regulations of the University of León. The review will be conducted in writing, and the student must bring any necessary materials to check the exam results, as well as a red pen. No other pen may be used during the exam review. The student will be provided with a form to submit any claims deemed necessary. Personal considerations irrelevant to the course development will be avoided, and in any case, will not, under any circumstances, modify the exam grade. Once the review is complete, the student's claims regarding corrections will be analyzed. If necessary, the grade will be adjusted accordingly, and a grade modification report will be issued. Exam reviews may result in either an increase or decrease in the grade of any test. Errors that were previously overlooked during initial grading may lead to a grade reduction. This criterion may cause a student who initially passed to fail. |
