Minimum required grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 | E1 final exam | 40 | Yes | 1,5/4 |

60% of the final grade will correspond to the activities developed during the course and 40% to the exam.
Ongoing assessment involves regular participation. The continuous assessment scores must be obtained during class time.
The first exam is mandatory and recoverable. It will consist of two parts: (a) a basic test of ten questions; b) a writing test supported by graphic or statistical materials. It will be necessary to obtain at least 1.5 points out of 4.
The second exam will follow this same scheme and will add a practical seminar test in a computer room that will allow to recover up to 20% more than the final grade.
Agenda
Each week there will be a Lecture (2 hours) and a Workshop/seminar (2 hours) that will follow the contents for the course.
