Single evaluation:


  • The exam will include questions, numerical problems and/or development of simulations, related with the contents presented in master sessions, seminars and tutored works. It will be necessary to obtain 5 points over 10 to pass the exam.

Continuous

The subject will
be assessed throughout the entire term:


  • Seminars: each student will have to perform
    different tasks with a total weight of 35% of the final mark.

    final mark.

Second call: the student
will have to take an exam which will include questions and/or numerical problems

related with the contents presented in the master sessions, seminars and the tutored works (100% of the final mark). Those students
