The final grade will be computed based on the grades obtained  in the three midterm exams (P1, P2 and P3, respectively) and the grade in the final exam (EX), all of them in a ten-point scale.

The contribution of the midterm exams to the final grade (P) is obtained as

P = V1*P1 + V2*P2 + V3*P3 

where 

V1 =0.15 if P1 >= 5, V1 = 0 otherwise

V2 =0.2 if P2 >= 5,   V2 = 0 otherwise

V3 =0.25 if P3 >= 5, V3 = 0 otherwise

Then, the final grade (F) will  be computed as:

F =min( 10, P + EX*(10-P)/(10-0.3*P) ) if EX>=3.5 

F = min( 4, P + EX*(10-P)/(10-0.3*P) )  if EX < 3.5

The schedule of the midterm exams will be approved in the Comisión Académica de Grado (CAG) and will be available at the beginning of each academic semester. These exams are not recoverable, that is to say, if a student  does not show up when they take place, the instructors do not have the obligation to repeat them. In each midterm exam, the material covered from the start of the course until the previous week (included) will be evaluated. 

For those students who choose to follow global assessment, the final grade will be directly the final exam grade (F = EX). 

Students will be graded at the ordinary opportunity of evaluation as long as they take any midterm exam and do not waive the continuous assesment (C.A.) track within a period established by the instructors; this period will last at least for one month and will be included in the period between the publication of the grades of the first midterm exam and the date of the third midterm exam.

For those students following C.A., any not attended midterm exam or final exam will be graded with zero points.

The mark achieved in the three midterm exams (P) will be kept for the second call of evaluation to those students attending the final exam of  that call, but not for subsequent years. Regarding this second call, the same rules stated above will apply.

For the end-of-program exam, a comprehensive exam will be given, corresponding to 100% of the final grade.

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. 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.
