The elements that are part of the evaluation of the subject are the following:

- Questionnaires: along the course the student will fill 3 questionnaires that will contribute 10% to the final mark (each one).

- Practical tasks: each student will have to perform a practical task in the laboratory that will contribute 30% to the final mark.

- Final work: each student will have to do a work in group, about one among several possible topics, that will contribute 30% (5% proposal + 15% work done + 10% presentation) to the final mark.

- Class participation: students will discuss in class about expositions done by the professor, and this contributes in a 5% to the final mark.

- Forum participation: students must interact in the forum of the subject individually to achieve a 5% of the final mark.

Therefore, we have: questionnaires (3*x10 = 30%) + Practical task (30%) + Group Work (30%) + Class participation (5%) + Forum (5%) = 100%.

Following the degree guidelines, the students that will follow this subject can choose between two evaluation: continuous evaluation and evaluation at the end of the semester.

Continuous evaluation: the student follows the continuous evaluation from the moment in that it fills two questionnaires.  From that moment we assume that he/she has participated in the subject, independently of he/she assist to the final exam.

Evaluation at the end of the semester: the student will have to perform a final exam that substitutes the questionnaires done along the course, in addition to providing the practical task and the equivalent work to be done as part of the continuous evaluation.

Evaluation at the end of the second semester: the student will have to perform the part that has not passed previously.

The questionnaires and task proposed and performed in this course are only valid for the current course.
