The aim is to assess students' acquisition of knowledge, critical capacity, synthesis, comparison, elaboration, application and originality. In order to make the best use of the subject, students must attend all the face-to-face activities.

The completion of the practicals is a basic criterion for passing the course. Without the completion of the practicals, it will not be possible to pass the course, regardless of the weight of these in the evaluation.

* First opportunity. In order for the case study and oral presentation activities to be taken into account, a minimum mark of 4.0/10 must be obtained in the mixed test. The final mark is obtained by applying the established percentages and the previously established restrictions.

* Second chance. The parts of the mixed exam that have not been passed may be repeated. The activities related to the work done in the seminars are considered unrepeatable. The final mark is obtained by applying the established percentages and the previously established restrictions.

In any case, if a minimum mark of 4.0/10 is not achieved in each of the parts of the mixed exam, the course will be failed even if the final mark, calculated according to the corresponding percentages, is equal to or higher than 5. In this case, the final mark will be 4.5 / 10.

Honours: in the event that there are several students with the same degree who are eligible for the MH, and the number of MH available is less than the number of students, a written test will be held. Students assessed at the second opportunity will only be eligible for the MH if the number of MHs was not fully covered at the first opportunity.

No-show" grade: applies to students who have participated in evaluable activities that account for less than (<) 40% of the final grade.

Successive academic years. The teaching-learning process, including assessment, refers to one academic year and, therefore, starts again from scratch with each new course.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption may take the mixed test, provided that the teaching staff is duly informed at the beginning of the course. Notwithstanding the above, teachers may assign these students different assignments/problems throughout the course to be presented during tutorial time.

Plagiarism and fraud in the completion of assignments or tests. The regulations of the University of A Coruña will apply.

Use of this subject as a training complement to doctoral studies: the grade will be "pass" or "fail".
