CONDITION TO PASS: MINIMUM TOTAL AND MINIMUM IN THEORY TESTS:

To pass the subject, the student must obtain 5 points out of 10, but also in the theory part it is necessary to have obtained at least a mark of 3 out of 10 in each of the two tests (both first partial test -first block of content- and the final exam -second block of content-) for the case of continuous evaluation. In order for this limitation to be reflected in the mark, in the case of students who do not meet the minimum of 3 in both parts, the theory mark (80% of the total mark) will be the minimum of 2.5 out of 10 and the average of the mark of both tests. For this average, the mark in a test the student did not attend is zero. When applying this procedure for the calculation of the theory mark, the result is that a maximum limit of 2.5 is applied to this mark, to express that the student has not fulfilled the requirement of both minimums, even though he could have a very high average mark between both tests. [In this way, for example if the student reaches the maximum mark in practices, but does not meet the minimum of both theory tests, then the maximum total mark that could be obtained is limited to 4 (2.5 x 0.80 + 10 x 0.20 = 4)].

Recommendations: The students will have the option to consult to the teacher any question related to the activities assigned to the work group to which they belong or the contents of the subject in the office hours or through the ways related in the Student Service section.

Students must inexcusably meet the deadlines established for the different activities.

In the different tests, students are advised to justify all the results they achieve. When scoring them, no result will be given as known by default and the method used to reach the proposed solution will be taken into account.

It is recommended, in the presentation of the various exercises, not to present misspellings and illegible characters or symbols, because they will affect the final score.

Class notes or documents cannot be brought nor used during the tests and mobile phones must be turned off and, only in the case 

 that is previously authorized, may notes or other support material be used.

Guidelines for improvement and recovery:

In the event that a student does not pass the subject in the first call, he or she has a second call in the current academic year.

The corresponding final grade for this second call will be obtained as the sum the following marks:

1.- The mark obtained in the evaluation of the laboratory practices in the first call, with a weight of 20% of the final grade.

2.- The mark obtained in the evaluation of the individual and face-to-face written test. The test will evaluate contents of the entire subject. The weight of this grade is 80% of the final grade.

To pass the subject in this second call it is necessary to obtain a final score equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10.

After the end of this academic year. the marks obtained in the evaluations of the thematic blocks and the mark obtained in the evaluation of the final exam lose their validity.

The marks obtained in the practical evaluations will be maintained during the two academic years following the current course, unless the student wishes to do them again.

Evaluation of students who waive continuous evaluation:

Students who are officially granted by the center the waiver of continuous assessment, will have to take a written test similar to the long-answer individualized test and a practical laboratory test. Both tests will have a maximum score of 10 points. The final mark will be the weighted average, as stipulated (80% - 20%), of the marks of the two tests. To pass the course you will have to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points. The written test will be held at the end of the semester, at the times established by the center's management. The practical test on a date close to the previous one and that will be proposed depending on the availability of the laboratories.

Ethical commitment: The student is expected to present appropriate ethical behavior. In the 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 mark in the current academic year will be a fail (0.0).
