Following the guidelines of the degree, two evaluation systems will be offered to the students: continuous assessment or exam-only assessment.

1. Continuous assessment

It will be considered that the student has opted for continuous evaluation if he/she attends the Second Session (Topics 2 and 3). After then it will not be possible to change the option of evaluation. Continuous assessment consists of the previous three one-hour sessions detailed and a final exam. If a student cannot attend a particular test on the date for which it is scheduled, he or she will miss that test.

In this case, the final grading for a student is given by the formula:

N = C + E

C: grading, between 0 and 6, obtained as the sum of the marks of the three one-hour sessions.

E: grading, between 0 and 4, obtained in the final exam on the topics 5 and 6 of the subject.

In this mode, a student has successfully completed the course when  N is greater than or equal to 5. Gradings obtained in the tests will be valid only for the academic year in which they are done.

2. Global assessment and end-of-program call

Those students who do not choose to be graded by continuous assessment, will be graded by means of a final exam (topics: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  and 6) which will not necessarily be the same as the one for the students who chose continuous assessment. This exam will be graded in a scale of 10 points and the passing grade cutoff will be 5.

3. Extraordinary exam

On the day of this second final exam, the students who were graded by continuous evaluation may choose to be graded exclusively by this second exam or to be graded taking into account the points obtained in their continuous evaluation by the same formula used earlier, that is:

NR= C +  D

C: Mark, between 0 and 6, obtained as the sum of the gradings of the one-hour sessions.

D: Mark, between 0 and 4, obtained in an exam on the topics  5 and 6 of the subject.

In this mode, a student has successfully completed the course when NR is greater than or equal to 5.

Those students who choose to be graded exclusively by the second final exam on topics: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 which will not necessarily be the same as the one for the students who made the other choice. This exam will be graded in a scale of 10 points and the passing grade cutoff will be 5.

4. Qualification of ''No Presentado''

A student will obtain a qualification of ''No Presentado'' if the student did not choose continuous evaluation and did not attend the final exams.

5. Ethical behaviour

It is expected a correct and ethical behavior of all students in all written tests and exams, which are meant to truly reflect the knowledge and abilities attained by each student. Any unethical behavior detected in a particular test (such as copying or using prohibited material) will result in a grading of 0 in that test and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution.

6. English Friendly

English Friendly subject: International students may request from the teachers: a) materials and blbliographic references in English, b) tutoring sessions in English, c) exams and assesments in English.
