Notes concerning the evaluation:

  • At least 5 points (out of 10) are required to pass the subject.
  • A final ordinary exam and a final retake exam are proposed. Those students who do not pass the ordinary exam or want to increase their marks must attend the retake exam.
  • The laboratory sessions are mandatory. Students who do not attend and pass all the laboratory sessions cannot pass the subject, and will have a final score lower than 4 (out of 10).
  • Only those students who have taken neither the ordinary nor the retake exam will be regarded as No presentado.
