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 laboratory practices is mandatory,
  which cannot be rescheduled.

• To pass the course, students must
  obtain at least a score of 5 points out of 10 in all the evaluation sections
  (laboratory practices, project, partial exam, final exam). So, 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 short questions and problems or
  exercises, 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 (laboratory practices, 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
  (laboratory practices, memory and presentation of project, written exams),
  provided that the minimum required grades have been passed. 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 laboratory practices and the project, 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 2ndopportunity 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 laboratory
  practices and the project, 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)
