The coursecan be passed through two modalities:

A) Modality by Continuous Evaluation.

The final grade (FG) of the student will be determined by adding the points obtained in the successive activities of continuous assessment (problem solving with argued answer, test type test, test of objective questions, theoretical issues, etc.), both face-to-face and telematic, developed throughout the course. Each enrollment in the subject, in the course, implies the resetting to zero of the grades in the continuous evaluation activities obtained in previous courses. The students subject to the Continuous Evaluation modality who present themselves to any evaluable activity included in the Teaching Guide of the course will be considered as "presented" and will be taken into account for the final grade.

All school days will be considered susceptible and likely to include some continuous assessment activity. These activities will be notified sufficiently in advance, and will be carried out within the school timetable approved by the center, during the classroom sessions and/or problem and/or laboratory sessions that take place throughout the course. In case of insufficient means, the faculty will articulate the planning mechanism that guarantees the best adjustment to the schedule. The realization of these activities of continuous evaluation will be governed in time/conditions established by the professor.

There will be partial tests during the course (PT), with a weight of 40% of the overall grade and a final exam (EF), with a weight of 40% of the overall grade, which will be held on the official date set for the exam.

The delivery of work or activities carried out during the course (T) will also be evaluated with a weight of 20%.

In the partial exams, isolated parts of the syllabus will be evaluated. In the final exam (FE) all the course material will be evaluated.

In the final exam a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 will be required to pass the course.

Therefore: FG = 0,4·PT + 0,2·T + 0,4·FE

* If the FG grade exceeds 5 points out of 10 but the FE grade is lower than 4 points, thefinal grade will be "suspense" with a numerical grade of 4,9.

B) Global Evaluation Mode.

Those students who choose the globa levaluation modality must officially obtain the waiver of the continuous evaluation modality, using the channels provided by the school, and will be evaluated within the official testing period (first and second opportunity) marked in the academic calendar of the course on the official dates set by the center. This global evaluation modality will take into account all the contents taught in the subject, both those taught in theory classes, problem sessionsand laboratory practices, and will represent 100% of the maximum grade.

In any case, in order to obtain a passing grade, the final grade must reach a minimum of 5 points out of 10.

Second chance exam.

Students who have not passed the course afterthe first opportunity, will be evaluated in the second opportunity of all the contents taught in the subject, both those taught in the theory classes, problem sessions and laboratory practices, and will represent 100% of the maximum grade.

EXTRAORDINARY SCHOOL-LEAVING EXAMS

The format of the exam may be different from the one detailed above. It will be carried out by means of a written exam in which the most relevant aspects of the subject will be addressed, both in theoretical issues and through numerical resolution problems that will allow to obtain 100% of the evaluation and a minimum of 50% must be reached to pass the subject.

It will not be allowed, in all tests, either considered continuous assessment or global assessment, the use of electronic devices such as tablet, smartphone, smartwatch, laptop, etc. or similar unauthorized devices.

Ethical commitment.

The student is expected to exhibit appropriate ethical behavior. If unethical behavior isdetected (copying, plagiarism, use of unauthorized electronic devices, etc.), the student will be considered ineligible to pass the course. In this case, the overall grade for the current academic year will be a failing grade (0.0).

The use of any electronic device will not be allowed during the evaluation tests, unless expressly authorized. The fact of introducing an unauthorized electronic device in the exam room will be considered a reason for not passing the subject in the current academic year and the overall grade will be a fail (0.0).
