Following the guidelines of the studies, two evaluation systems will be offered to the students inscribed on this subject:

Continuous evaluation (the preferred method, academic activities are linked to this system) and evaluation at the end of the semester (not recommended).

* Students who choose continuous evaluation:

Students will follow the continuous evaluation system if they sign a document that will be delivered and collected during weeks 1-3, so that the collaborative work can begin.

Weighing:

* Magister sessions. Individual assesment. (weight: 50%)

* Practices in computer rooms (weight: 15%). The evaluation will be done twofold:  Reports describing the results obtained in the computer classroom, assessed in flexible groups of two (10%), and practice interpretation, with individual assesment (5%).

* Laboratory practices (weight: 35%).  The evaluation will be done twofold: Practice preparation, assessed in small groups (8.25%), and practice interpretation, with individual assesment (26.75%). Attendance to these laboratory practices is considered as compulsory.

When group assessment, all group components will obtain the same mark, provided that their contribution in the compulsory attendance sessions is reasonably similar, according to professor's judgement.

To ensure that all competencies are acquired, it will be necessary to jointly fulfill these two conditions to pass:

1) To obtain a grade equal to or greater than 4 (on a scale of 0 to 10), in the set of activities of each type.

2) To obtain an overall mark, calculated as the sum of the scores of activities weighted correspondingly, equal to or greater than 5 (on a scale of 0 to 10)

In the event that only condition 2) is fulfilled, and not condition 1), the global mark in the subject will be 4.

* Students who choose for evaluation at the end of the semester:

The possibility of a final examination will be provided to students who do not opt for the continuous evaluation. This final exam will cover all the activities of the subject.

Weighing:

* Magister sessions. Individual assesment. (weight: 50%)

* Practises in computer rooms. Individual assesment. (weight: 15%)

* Laboratory practises. Individual assesment. (weight: 35%)

To ensure that all competencies are acquired, it will be necessary to jointly fulfill these two conditions:

1) To obtain a grade equal to or greater than 4 (on a scale of 0 to 10), in each of the sections in which the test is divided.

2) To obtain an overall grade in the examination equal to or greater than 5 (on a scale of 0 to 10).
