No minimum grade is required in either of the two evaluation systems. The written test, carried out in the ordinary evaluation period, can be recovered in the extraordinary exam. The ordinary call consists in four mid-course exams distributed homogenously along the course. Each exam will last an hour and have the same weight for the final mark. Pocket-calculator is permitted in the exams.
