Evaluation

* The Laboratory Sessions are mandatory and their marks will be pass or fail. These marks will not have an impact on the final score, but without their fulfilment the ordinary and/or retake exams cannot be done.

The fulfilment of different activities will be suggested throughout the course. These activities will involve the solution and discussion of exercises, where the theoretical knowledge of each issue is applied.

Debate will encourage the active participation of students in the Exposition/Participative Classes, in which the theoretical concepts in the proposed exercises will be debated.

Assessment system:

A final ordinary exam and a final retake exam will be conducted. The students, who do not pass the ordinary exam or want to increase their marks, must take the retake exam. To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain 5 or more out of the 10 points in the final score.

The Laboratory Sessions are mandatory for the students. Without them, the students will not be assessed (R4 & R5).

Only the students who have not taken either of the two final exams will be recorded as ¿not having taken the exam¿ at certification.
