According to the specific guidelines of the degree, students enrolled in the subject can choose one of the two proposed assessment systems: continuous assessment or final evaluation.

Continuous assessment

Continuous assessment involves performing throughout the semester of the paragraphs disaggregated in the above table. Each of the blocks is of mandatory fulfillment in the form of continuous and individual assessment, and to pass the subject a minimum of 1/3 of the note assigned to each of the sections and the final mark accumulated within the five sections to be achieved must overcome at least 50% of the final grade. The short answer test is multiple choice and is done the day indicated in the official exam schedule. Regarding the block of laboratory practices, one report is required per practice and per student, made in a
individual way. Evidences of report copying or cloning will drive to
fail the related practice.

Continuous assessment involves making over quarter of all proposed tasks: active participation in the sessions of classroom and laboratory practices, autonomous work as solving exercises and online self-assessment tests (questionnaires), and performing the final short answer test. These tasks are not recoverable, that is, if a student does not satisfy the stipulated timing the teacher has no obligation to repeat, and also they will be only valid for the academic year in which they are made.

Evaluation by final exam

In compliance with the regulations of the University of Vigo, a student who does not opt for continuous assessment should be eligible for the highest rating by the final exam, which will consist of three parts:

- Part 1: realization of laboratory practices and delivery of reports due (35% of the final grade). One report is required per practice and per student, made in a individual way. Evidences of report copying or cloning will drive to grade as zero the related practice.

- Part 2: test exam (50% of the final grade).

- Part 3: troubleshooting (20% of the final grade).

It is considered that the subject is passed if the final grade is equal to or greater than 5.
