The subject will generally be taught
in Catalan. The documentation can be in Catalan, Spanish or English.
1. Attendance at classes is mandatory.List will be passed daily. Students who do not attend the theory classes willnot be able to do the corresponding practices and will therefore have thesubject suspended. 2. To pass the subject you must passall parts with a grade higher than 5 (exams, practicals and onlineassignments). If there is any suspended part, they will have to go to the finalexam of the second call with the whole subject, since it is considered thatthey have not achieved the skills. The final grade after passing each part witha 5 will be the weighted average of each part. 3. Students who do not follow thecontinuous assessment during the course, may appear in the second call. 4. In the second call there are twoparts: a global exam of the subject with a weight of 70% elimination, and alaboratory exam with a weight of 30%. 5. Practices are not recovered. Thelaboratory grade is the product of the practical attendance fee by theindividual grade of the laboratory test. 6. Face-to-face laboratory practiceswill be carried out in groups of 2 or exceptionally 3 students. The selectionof the group and laboratory schedule will be done through a survey at thebeginning of the course in order of response to it. No other considerationswill be taken into account in the choice of groups, neither academic nor work.Laboratory groups not scheduled at the beginning of the course will not beopened and there may be changes due to enrollment restrictions. 7. Online tests will not be repeatedor assignments will be delayed for unjustified reasons. The deadlines for eachtask can be found in each task in moodle. 8. As a general rule, the use ofmobile phones or other data transmission-reception systems is not permittedduring the tests. 9. Some laboratory sessions consistingof carrying out practical problems may be carried out together in classrooms,prior notice. 10. During the course, campus orpublic domain software will be used that normally works under the Windowsoperating system. If there are any changes to theevaluation system, they will be announced in the Moodle space of each subjectat the beginning of the course or in advance.
