The requisite to pass each of the activities included in the assessment is to obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 points in each of those activities. Otherwise, the student will not pass the course. In those cases when the average of all grades of the different activities is higher than 5, but the student did not obtain a minimum of 5 in all the activities, the grade that will be assigned in the official records will be 4.
Once all the activities have been passed, the final grade of the course will be the sum of the different grades obtained in the tests and activities. The mixed test will yield 70% of the final grade. Laboratory work and small-group activities will result in the other 30% of the final grade. Nevertheless, it will be strictly necessary to obtain 5 points out of 10 in each of the activities: the mixed test, the laboratory work, and the small group activities. The attendance to lectures, laboratory work, and the completion of the individual and group exercises are compulsory in order to be evaluated.
The student will be assessed as NOT PRESENTED only if he/she did not participate in those activities whose contribution to the final grade is higher than 10%.
The tests of May-June (first opportunity) and July (second opportunity) will be evaluated similarly in terms of percentages and requirements to pass the course. The qualification obtained in the laboratory work and group activities will be preserved until the second opportunity, while the mixed test qualification in the second opportunity will replace the one obtained in the first one.
Honors will be given only to students whose evaluation is conducted during the course and will pass the tests in any of the two opportunities, until the maximum number of Honors dictated by the institution regulations is reached.
The students who haven’t pass the course in previous years will have to participate in all the activities and pass a new assessment of all the activities, since the learning-teaching process, which includes the assessment, is only valid for one academic year.
Part-time students are not obligated to attend to lectures and small-group activities, although they must attend to laboratory work. The percentage of the final grade corresponding to small-group activities will be replaced by the corresponding increase in the percentage of the mixed objective/subjective test, both in the first and second opportunities.
