The student will be able to freely choose the evaluation methodology (Global or Continuous) within the established deadline and procedure set by the school, and in any case in accordance with current regulations.

The problem of students choosing one evaluation methodology or another, according to the maximum weights established, is most dramatically manifested in the case of two students who take the final exam/retest and obtain exactly the same grade (for example, 6/10); one passes because he has chosen the global evaluation, while the other fails because of selecting the continuous evaluation and only obtained a 4.2 out of 10 in the average of the continuous evaluation tests.

To mitigate this contradiction derived from the application of the current regulations in the case of continuous assessment mode, two grades will be calculated for each student, and the higher of the two will be selected.

In the calculation of the final grade, four evaluation blocks will be considered with the following weights:

· First partial test of continuous evaluation, weight: 25%. Test consisting of theoretical/practical questions, including problem-solving and/or a topic to develop. It may include multiple-choice questionnaires.

· Second partial test of continuous evaluation, weight: 25%. Test consisting of theoretical/practical questions, including problem-solving and/or a topic to develop. It may include multiple-choice questionnaires.

· Final test of continuous evaluation (retest), weight: 40%. Test consisting of theoretical/practical questions, including problem-solving and/or a topic to develop. It may include multiple-choice questionnaires.

· Practical work, weight: 10%. Submission of a report/questionnaire and/or oral examination of at least two experimental/IT practices to be carried out throughout the course.

In the spirit of the above paragraph, the final course grade will be assigned to all students using the following formula:

Final Grade = max {0.6 NC + 0.4 NF , NF + (1/20)NC(10 - NF)}

where NC is the weighted average of the two continuous evaluation tests and practical (in the range of 0 to 10) and NF is the grade of the final exam (retest) (also out of 10).

A final exam will be held on the official date approved by the school, with a maximum score of 100%.

In the second opportunity call (extraordinary in July), the same methodology as in the first opportunity will apply, with a new final evaluation test for students who choose continuous evaluation and a new final exam for those following the global evaluation. In the continuous evaluation mode, therefore, the grades of the partial tests and practical work are retained.
