Other comments on the Evaluation

1) Continuous evaluation

To pass the subject,
students must carry out all the evaluable activities.

Practical classes and
seminars
: Attendance at scheduled practice sessions and seminars is mandatory
and necessary to pass the subject. To pass these activities, a minimum score of
5/10 points must be achieved in each of them. The justification of
non-attendance to the practical sessions and seminars will not exempt students
from carrying them out in another group, provided that the calendar allows it.

Theory exam. To pass this
part it will be necessary to obtain 5 points in each of the two scheduled exams.
However, it will be possible to pass the subject if a minimum score of 4 is
achieved in each one of the theory exams, offsetting the practical and seminar scores
until reaching 5 points. In case of not reaching the minimum score (4) in the
theory exams, the final score for the subject will correspond to that score
(the scores for practices and seminar will not be taken into account).

Second opportunity and
following courses
. Activities passed on the
first opportunity will be saved for the second opportunity. It will not be
possible to recover the practices or the seminars. Thus, the scores of these
parts will be those obtained during the period of their completion in the
course.

Repeating
students
. They will only have to evaluate the activities (practices, seminar)
not passed in the previous courses, keeping the scores obtained in said
activities.

2) Overall evaluation

Students may request the
global evaluation that will be carried out on the official dates of first and
second opportunities. This evaluation will allow reaching 100% of the subject
score and is structured into three parts:

- Score of practices carried
out in the period established in the calendar. 10%

- Score of the seminar
carried out in the period established in the calendar. 30%

- Score of the global theory
exam, which will be carried out on the dates set in the academic calendar for
the official exams of the subject. 60%
