1. Considerations on
continuous evaluation.

• The participation of the
  student in any of the acts of evaluation of the course will imply the condition
  of presented and, therefore, the assignment of a qualification.

• Attendance at a minimum of
  80% of practical classes (laboratory, industry visits, seminars) is mandatory,
  which cannot be recovered.

• To pass the course,
  students must obtain at least a score of 5 points out of 10 in the partial exam
  and in the final exam, and a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in each of the other
  evaluation sections (practical classes, project). In any case, the overall
  qualification required to pass the course, resulting from the weighted sum of
  all the evaluation sections, will be 5 points out of 10.

• Students may waive the
  continuous assessment system through the procedure and within the period
  established by the School. If such resignation is requested and authorized,
  100% of the grade will be assigned by taking a final exam, in which questions
  can be asked about all the topics taught in the course, including those
  corresponding to practical classes.

 2. Considerations about the
exams (partial and final).

• Partial exam. During the course there
  will be a partial and eliminatory test, which will include problems and/or
  exercises, as well as essay questions, and which will have a weight in the
  overall grade of 30 %. To pass this test, a score of at least 5 points out of
  10 must be obtained.

• Final exam 1st opportunity.
  It will
  include the contents not evaluated in the partial test, and will have a
  relative weight of 30 % in the overall grade of the course. In case of not having passed the partial test, the students will be
  given the opportunity to repeat the evaluation of the corresponding contents,
  on the same date assigned for the final exam.

• Final exam 2nd opportunity.
  The exam
  may put forward questions about all the subjects taught in the course,
  including those corresponding to practical classes. Students who have obtained the minimum qualification established in this
  guide for the various evaluation sections (practical classes, project, partial
  exam), may only be assessed for the rest of the content.

 3.  Considerations on the qualification
records

• 1st opportunity qualification
  record. The
  global mark will be the weighted sum of those obtained in all the assessments
  carried out (practical classes, project, partial exam and final exam), provided
  that the minimum required grades have been passed (4 points out of 10 in practical
  classes and project, 5 points out of 10 in partial and final exams). In case of failing or not showing up for the partial and/or final exam,
  the record will reflect the Fail rating, with a numerical value resulting from
  the weighted sum of the practical classes and project grades, applying the
  global grade contribution percentages specified in this guide; the contents
  approved in these two sections will be considered as passed with a view to the 2nd opportunity qualification record.
  
  

• 2nd opportunity qualification
  record. The
  global mark will be the weighted sum of those obtained in all the assessments
  carried out, provided that the minimum required marks have been passed. In
  case of failing or not taking the final exam, the record will reflect the Fail
  grade, with a numerical value resulting from the weighted sum of the practical
  classes and project grades, applying the global grade contribution percentages
  specified in this guide.

 4. Ethical considerations                                       

The student is expected to exhibit an adequate
ethical behavior. In case of detecting unethical behavior (copying, plagiarism,
use of unauthorized electronic devices, and others), it will be considered that
the student does not meet the necessary requirements to pass the subject. In
this case, the overall grade in the current academic year will be Fail (0.0).

The use of any electronic device during the
evaluation tests will not be allowed unless expressly authorized. The introduction
of a non-authorized electronic device in the exam room will be considered a
reason for not passing the subject in this academic year and the overall rating
will be Fail (0.0)
