- The final grade will be obtained as a result of the weighting of the partial marks, taking into account that, to pass the subject, it will be a requirement to pass the exam and, where appropriate, at least one of the other two recoverable evaluation activities.
- The Recovery evaluation will be done orally and / or in writing.
- The level of participation and involvement in the development of class sessions, study and evaluation activities, tutorship ... will be valued.
