Students enrolled in the subject can choose one of the two proposed assessment systems: continuous assessment or exam-onlyl assessment.Each student must notify the coordinating professor by email of the selected assessment system one month after the start of classes.

Continuous assessment (ordinary exam)

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 25% of the note assigned to each of the sections and the totall 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 task.

Continuous assessment involves making 100% of all proposed tasks. Failure to take any of these tests implies the loss of continuous assessment and the final grade will be "SUSPENSO".

These tasks are not recoverable, that is, if a student does not satisfy the scheduled tasks, the teacher has no obligation to repeat any of them, and also they will be only valid for the academic year in which they are completed.

The schedule of the midterm/intermediate exams will be approved in the Comisión Académica de Máster (CAM) and will be available at the beginning of each academic semester.

It is considered that the subject is passed if the total grade is equal to or greater than 5. In case of leaving the modality of continuous assessment, the final grade will be "SUSPENSO".

Exam-only assessment (ordinary exam)

A student who does not opt for continuous assessment should be eligible for the highest grade by a final exam, which will consist of three parts:

- Part 1: realization of laboratory practices and delivery of reports due (30% 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 by eventual assessment if the total grade is equal to or greater than 5.

Extraordinary exam

For students who chose the exam-only assessment, the grade will be given by a final exam that will consist of three parts: a practical examination (pass /non-pass) (20%), a standard test exam (40%) and an examination of problems (40%) .

It is considered that the subject is approved in second call if the total grade is equal to or greater than 5.

standard test exam (40%) and an examination of problems (40%). It is considered that the subject is approved if the total grade is equal to or greater than 5.
