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

1. First opportunity at the end of the semester (end of semester). The student is free to choose the continuous evaluation system above described, without excluding the possibility to do a final exam. Possible cases:

• Students only doing the continuous evaluation: they are graded with the points obtained in the evaluation.
  
• Students doing both the continuous evaluation and the exam: they are graded with the best of both qualifications.
  
• Students only doing the final exam: they are graded with the points obtained in the exam.

Details of the final examination: The final
exam will have three parts, each of them corresponding to each of the tests
related to problem solving and/or exercises carried out during the continuous
evaluation: EC1 (Chapters I and II), EC2 (Chapters III and IV) and EC3
(Chapters V to VIII). The students will be able to choose to do the full exam
or only those parts that they wish to improve the grade obtained during
continuous evaluation.

2. Extraordinary exam. Students that do not reach the minimum grade at
the end of the semester will have the option to do a final extraordinary exam
of the full content of the subject, theory and practice. The extraordinary exam
can include test type and/or reasoning questions, problem solving and/or
exercises, as well as the development of practical cases. The maximum
punctuation achieved on this exam (between 0 and 10) will be the final grade.
It will replace the grade obtained during continuous evaluation (sum of the grades
obtained during tests and final exam)

Additional comments:

• The continuous evaluation tests will take place in
  group B, so the students must attend to the group assigned at the beginning of
  the semester.
• Doing 2 or more tests and/or the final exams will prevent the student to get the "Not presented" mark.
• The average
  grade during continuous evaluation will only be valid only for the
  corresponding academic year.
  
  
• It will be considered that the subject has been passed if the final
  grade is equal or above 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.
