1) Evaluation system: Continuous Assessment will be the preferred form of evaluation. Those students who wish to avail of Global Evaluation (100% in the end-of-year official exam) must notify the person responsible for the subject in question, by email (to gil@uvigo.gal) or through the Moovi platform (within the first month of the starting date of the course subject).

2) Bimester End-of-Term Assessment (1st exam opportunity):

2.1) Exam (40% of the global mark): it is necessary to obtain a minimum (4 out of 10) in the Formal End-of-Term Exam call to pass the exam. In this exam, additional requirements may exist in order to pass the subject (such as obtaining a minimum mark in one part of the examination or passing specific questions in order to proceed to the subsequent questions).

2.2) Laboratory practicals (20% of the global mark): Attendance of the laboratory practicals with the corresponding completed lab reports is compulsory to pass the subject irrespective of the evaluation system chosen.

2.3) Autonomous problem-solving (40% of the global mark): the final result in this section will be the sum of the marks obtained for each one of the exercises that the students have completed.

2.4) The final grade of the subject:

• For the student to pass the subject (with a minimum of 4.5 out of 10), the final grade will be the sum of the marks for the exam + laboratory practicals + problems-solving exercise done independently outside the classroom (applying the corresponding percentages to calculate the overall mark).
• For the student who does not pass the subject, the final grade will be that of the exam (out of a total of 10 marks).
• "Absentee": This will only apply to the student that does not have any mark in any of the methodologies.

3) Formal End-of-Degree Exam call: the student that opts for this modality will be evaluated only with the exam (that will represent 100% of the mark). In the case of not attending the said examination, or not passing it, the student will be evaluated in the same way as the rest of the students in the other exam sittings throughout the duration of the course.

4) Final Evaluation - Formal Resit Exam call (2nd exam opportunity)): in the resitting of the exam, the student will be able to choose between keeping the marks that correspond to the marks obtained from the "autonomous problem-solving" exercises and the "Laboratory practicals", or not keeping any of them. Otherwise, the course of action by default will be to keep the marks from the first sitting (1st exam opportunity) of the exam.

5) Communication with the students: Communication with the students (exam results, announcements, etc.) will be through the platform Moovi.

6) Exams: official exam call dates are:

Final Exam: 25 September 2024, 16:00.

1st Exam opportunity: 3 June 2025, 16:00.

Resit Exam (2nd Exam opportunity): 10 July 2025, 16:00.

The exam call dates are those approved by the Faculty of Sciences. In case of error in the transcription of the dates, those officially approved and published on the Science Faculty website and the News Bulletin Board will be the accepted valid dates.

7) Ethical Commitment: Students are expected to behave in a suitable ethical manner. In the case that incorrect malpractice is detected, for example, copying, plagiarism, the use of any unauthorized electronic device on purpose (usually only the use of calculators is permitted), the student implicated will not have satisfied the suitable requirements to pass the subject. Their overall grade will be of 0.0, in compliance with Royal Decree 1791/2010, of 30 December, which approves the Statute of the University Student, article 13.2., regarding the duties of university students: "Abstain from the use of or participation in fraudulent procedures in the evaluation tests, in the work that the students do or in official documents of the university".
