Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises Formulation, analysis, resolution, and discussion of a problem or exercise related to the subject matter of the course. The goal is for the student to assimilate the theoretical content presented in the lectures.
Personal tuition It will be dedicated to solving specific doubts regarding issues that students may present.
Laboratory practicals These will take place in a Department Laboratory. Groups with a very small number of students will be formed to carry out a practical assignment assigned to each group, consisting of performing the specified practices and preparing the corresponding practice report. Students will have access to the documentation and necessary materials for conducting the practices. With timely clarifications provided by the professor, students will be able to carry out the practical work. They will note the results and prepare a report containing the theoretical foundations, practical implementation, obtained results, and specific conclusions of their work. Students will submit a report, serving as an evaluation criterion for the practical component, within a period of less than 2 weeks after each practice session.
Lecture First, a theoretical exposition of all the concepts outlined in the curriculum is presented. Subsequently, the concepts are justified, and their application to specific cases is demonstrated.

Description

Tutoring sessions will serve to address specific doubts that were not raised or resolved in class, as well as to focus the student's activity.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Lecture The student's participation in class and in classroom discussions will be evaluated. Regular attendance and the attitude displayed may be taken into account for evaluation. This will be evaluated together with the mixed assessment section.




0%
Laboratory practicals
Evaluation of practical work. The skills acquired by the student in the practical application of knowledge will be assessed. All scheduled practices must be completed, and all required assignments and reports must be submitted in order to pass the course.
Attendance at practical sessions is mandatory to pass the course. Only those practices whose absence is adequately justified can be made up.
The assessment of the practices will be carried out once the minimum established in the tests and exams of the subject has been passed.
Submission is mandatory and it is a requirement to obtain a grade of 5.0 out of 10.0 in the test. No average will be calculated if this condition is not met.
The total weight of the practical part will be 20%.
The practice report will be submitted in PDF format through Moodle (adhering to the maximum size allowed by the platform). Submission deadlines will be set throughout the course.
20%
Mixed tests The grade obtained in the corresponding assessments throughout the training process will be considered. These assessments will be designed to evaluate the competencies acquired by the student. Regular attendance in classes and the attitude displayed may be taken into account for evaluation. To pass the course, it will be necessary to pass each of the content blocks into which it is divided. The student's participation in theory and problem-solving classes will also be taken into account. 75%
Others Submission and/or presentation of problems proposed by the professor. 5%
 
Other comments and second call



All documents must be submitted either through the Moodle platform (PDF format only) or in paper format, or both. Email submissions are not allowed, and late submissions will not be accepted.
The file name should consist of the student's National ID (NIF) followed by their first name and last name, along with an identification of the problem or test.
Each document must include the student's name, NIF, and the solution to the problem or assignment, including:
Introduction or statement
Objectives
Solution or practical execution
Analysis of the solution
Conclusions and personal assessment
Attendance at Individual Character Tests and Reviews:

Students must bring valid identification.
Tests will cover material equal to or more advanced than that covered in class to allow high-achieving students to earn outstanding grades.
Exams may be video-recorded for fraud detection purposes.
Any proven cases of cheating will result in a suspension of two exam opportunities or disciplinary action as per university regulations.
Students must adhere to examination regulations set by the University of León.
Test Materials and Conduct:

Students are allowed to bring specific materials to the exam room, including pens, a correction fluid, a ruler, a non-programmable calculator, and additional materials if permitted.
Only clear water in a transparent bottle is permitted, with strict usage guidelines.
Electronic devices such as phones or tablets are strictly prohibited.
Communication or sharing of materials with other students during the exam is forbidden.
Only blue or black pens are allowed for writing; red ink is prohibited.
Leaving the exam room while another student is still working on the test is not allowed.
No food or drinks except water are allowed in the exam room.
Grading and Evaluation:

Each test or assignment must be passed with a minimum score of 5.0 out of 10.0.
No averaging with other parts of the evaluation is done if this condition is not met.
There are no retakes for any test or assignment.
Regular attendance and attitude may be considered in the evaluation process.
Students must pass each content block to pass the course. If one or more blocks are not passed, the average score of those blocks will be the final grade.

Second Call:

Theory evaluation consists of one or more written tests covering program content and contributes 80% to the total course grade.
Practical evaluation involves retaining the grade obtained in laboratory practices. Alternatively, if the student prefers or has failed the practicals, they must pass an alternative exam. This alternative exam contributes 20% to the total course grade.
These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework for assessment, evaluation, and conduct during exams and assignments.
