Other comments on the Evaluation
Details about evaluation and qualifications


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.

To pass the course, it is necessary for the student to obtain a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in the final exam and a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in the continuous assessment. The score of the continuous assessment will be calculated from the supervised work qualification (12.5 %), presentation (12.5 %), laboratory practices (25 %) and short questions tests (50%).

If the minimum of 5 points out of 10 in the final exam and in the continuous assessment is achieved, the final mark will be calculated as the sum of 40% of the continuous assessment mark and 60 % of the final exam grade. The same will apply if the student does not reach the established minimum in any of the two sections.

In the case of students who do not pass the minimum of 5 points out of 10 in one of the two parts of the evaluation (final exam or continuous assessment), the score of Fail will be assigned, with a numerical value equal to the mark obtained in the evaluation part in which the minimum level has not been achieved.

The qualification of the continuous evaluation section, if higher than 5 points out of 10, will be kept for the second evaluation opportunity (July), and therefore only the final exam will be necessary.

Students who renounce continuous assessment must take a final exam in which questions about all the activities of the course can be included (also those corresponding to practical classes), and their grade will be the mark obtained in this exam.

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)
