The student, in agreement to the official academic-year schedule, will have two opportunities during the academic year to pass the course:

Students can freely choose the continuous assessment system described in the previous section, without this excluding the possibility of taking a final exam.

Possible cases:

• Students who only take the final exam: they are graded with the score they have obtained in it (0 to 10 points).
• Students who follow the continuous assessment: they are qualified with the sum of all the scores:

Mark = ECA1 + ECA2 + ECA3 + ECHW + PG 

2. Extraordinary exam.

Students who did not pass the course at the end of the semester can take an extraordinary final exam that will cover all the contents of the subject, both theoretical and practical, and that may include multiple choice tests, reasoning questions, problem solving and / or exercises, as well as the development of practical cases. The score achieved in it (between 0 and 10) will be the final grade.

Students whos have followed the continuous assessment may decide, on the same day of the exam, whether or not to keep their continuous assessment grade in the same way as in the first opportunity final exam.

End-of-program exam:

There will be an exam that
will cover all the contents of the subject, both theoretical and
practical, and that may include multiple choice tests, reasoning
questions, problem solving and / or exercises, as well as the
development of practical cases. The score achieved in it (between 0 and
10) will be the final grade.

Additional comments:

• Students must attend the practices in the group assigned to them at the beginning of the semester.
• All marks in the evaluation are individual.
• 
  Attendance at the hardware laboratory sessions, and the corresponding ECHW evaluation, is mandatory.
• Taking the ECA2 or successive scoring tests and / or any of the final exams will mean that the student will have a different grade than "Not presented".
• The grade obtained in continuous evaluation will be valid only for the academic year in which it is carried out.
• The subject is considered approved if the final grade is equal to or greater than 5.

Re-scheduling of tests.

In case of missing a test, instructors have not any compulsion to rescheduling.

Test results.

Before each test, the date and revision procedure of assigned grading marks will be indicated. Such dates will imply a reasonable delay (in general, not greater than three weeks) between the date of test and the release of the grading marks.

Plagiarism.

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behaviour. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution.
