For those students that choose continuous evaluation, the final mark will be obtained as:

Ntests+Nproject+Nexam

where,
Ntests is the mark accumulated in the short tests, up to 3 points;
Nproject is the mark of the practical project up to 3 points; and Nexam
is the mark of the final exam up to 4 points. In order to pass the
subject a student has to get at least 4 points over 10 in the exam; if
that threshold were not achieved, the final mark will be that obtained
at the exam, even if the student had chosen continuous evaluation.

For those students that do not choose continuous evaluation, the final mark will be the one obtained at the final exam.

The
final exam will be the same for both kinds of evaluation; nevertheless,
its weight in the final mark will be changed according to the student's
choice of following, or not, continuous evaluation.

The student
has to decide, after the realisation of the second short test, if he/she
opts for continuous evaluation, or not; that decision must be
communicated to the instructor in due time. The students that chose
continuous evaluation and did not pass the subject would receive the
"fail" qualification independently of doing the final exam, or not.

The
continuous evaluation mark will be considered in July evaluation, but
not for subsequent courses. In July evaluation the students that chose
continuous evaluation can decide if they wish to keep the short tests
and project mark, or if they prefer to be 100% assessed by the final
exam.
