2.1) Exam (40% of the overall mark): it is necessary to obtain a minimum (4 out of 10) in the formal exam to be able to pass the exam.

2.2) Laboratory practicals (20% of the overall mark): Attendance of the laboratory practicals with the corresponding completed lab reports is mandatory to pass the subject irrespective of the evaluation system chosen.

2.3) Autonomous problem-solving (40% of the overall mark): the final grade in this section will be the sum of the marks obtained for each one of the exercises that the students have completed.

2.4) The final grade of the subject:

• For the student to pass the subject (with a minimum of 4.5 out of 10), the final grade will be the sum of the marks for the exam + laboratory practicals + problems-solving exercise done independently outside the classroom (applying the corresponding percentages to calculate the overall mark)
• For the student who does not pass the subject, the final grade will be that of the exam (out of a total of 10 marks).
• "Absentee": This will only apply to the student that does not have any mark in any of the methodologies.
