Objectives

The student should know: to identify the graphs of quadratic equations in two and three real variables; the basic concepts about calculus of parametrized curves in the plane and the space; the fundamental results concerning the analysis of multivariate functions and understand the concepts of partial derivative, gradient vector, local maxima and minima, tangent plane to the graph of functions of two variables being able to determine extreme values of constrained functions; the student should also know the methods of multiple integration and use them to determine areas, volumes, etc, of bounded plane or space regions, using change of variables if necessary.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final mark at "Época normal"

 Test 1 date: April 14, 2015.

Test 1 classification: Y (out of 10).

 Test 2 date: June 4, 2015.

Test 2 classification: Z (out of 10).

Final mark at "época normal":

(Y + Z)  if (Y + Z) is greater or equal to 10 and the student didn't make the exam at "época normal".

 

Exam classification: X (out of 20);

Final mark at "época normal":

X if the student made the "época normal" exam.

 

Remark 1: The "época normal" exam will consist of two parts, each marking out of 10, in correspondence to the material that have been evaluated at test 1 and 2. 

The student can decide not to make one of the parts of the exam, and then it will be considered the classification obtained by the student at the corresponding test. 

 

Final mark at Época de recurso

Final mark: mark obtained at the exam of "Época de recurso" (out of 20).

Remark 2: The "época de recurso" exam will consist of two parts, each marking out of 10, in correspondence to the material that have been evaluated at test 1 and 2. The student that was not approved at "Época normal" can decide not to make one of the parts of the exam, and then it will be considered the classification obtained by the student at the corresponding test.

 

Remark 3: The student that was approved at "Época normal"  can't use the classification(s) obtained by him at the test(s) if he decides to make the exam of "Época de recurso" for improving his final mark at the course.
 

Remark 4: At the "Época de recurso" exam, it is not possible to use the classification obtained  at any of the two parts of the"Época normal" exam. 

Final marks above 17

The students that have marks above 17 (at the two tests, or at the "Época normal" exam, or at the"Época de recurso" exam) will have to do an additional written test, at date after the "Época normal" exam.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Any student asking for an exam because of special conditions of his registration will do a written exam, but possibly, only, after an extra written or oral examination, in order to check if the student has a minimum knowledge about the unit so that he can do the special exam.

Classification improvement

The student that was approved at "Época normal"  can't use the classification(s) obtained by him at the test(s) if he decides to make the exam of "Época de recurso" for improving his final mark at the course. 

The student that has been approved at the school year 2013/14 and decides to improve his final mark at the course, he can do that only by making the exam and not by doing the tests.
