1. The part of theoretical concepts and exercises is worth 75% of the global score. It is composed of two exams, one in the middle of the semester:

- first partial exam: chapters 1 to 6 (30% of global score)

- second partial exam: chapters 7 to 11 (45% of global score)

To overcome the course, it must be obtained at least a 40% score in the second partial exam.

The mark obtained in the theory exams can be modified by a 10% by continous evaluation in class through the exercises done in the remote lab and through works delivered to the teacher.

2. The practical part of the subject consists of attending and doing exercises before and during the laboratory sessions and taking a final practice exam. The work and evaluation of the student in the laboratory (by means of guided, proposed exercises, or tests) during the sessions computes 5% (not recoverable), while the practice exam will be worth 20% (yes, recoverable). Attendance at all practice sessions is mandatory. Completion of all the proposed exercises or tests will be compulsory in order to have the right to take the practice exam. Therefore, it will be essential to have attended all the sessions and have done the work required in the sessions.

In these laboratory practices, the acquisition of the knowledge developed in the theoretical classes will be demonstrated through the implementation of the designs proposed in the practice scripts. A minimum grade of 4 points out of 10 in the total of practices will be necessary to average with the theory and pass the subject. In case of not reaching 4 points, the note of the sessions (5%) will be saved and the extraordinary call will be attended, which will consist of a practical laboratory exam (20%).

3. Those students that have followed the continuous evaluation will be able to do the recovery exam (extraordinary evaluation), which will consist of a single exam where all the theoretical knowledge acquired during the semester will be assessed. This exam will be worth 75% of the global score. In this case, in order to pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a 50% score in the recovery exam.
