The master class is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". The latter is usually reserved for a special type of lecture given by a teacher on special occasions, with a content that involves an original elaboration and is based on the almost exclusive use of the spoken word as a means of conveying information to the audience.
Regular class attendance as well as the attitudes and aptitudes shown in the classes will be assessed on an ongoing basis, and will be awarded 5% of the total mark for the subject. 		5
Laboratory practice A1 A3 A5 A6 A8 A9 A11 A12 A16 C6 Methodology that allows students to learn effectively through practical activities such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments and research.
Regular attendance at laboratory practicals as well as the attitudes and aptitudes shown in them will be assessed on an ongoing basis, and will be awarded 5% of the total mark for the subject. 		5
Collaborative learning A1 A2 A3 A10 A19 C1 C4 C6 A set of teaching-learning procedures guided in person and/or supported by information and communication technologies, based on the organisation of the class in small groups in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by the teacher to optimise their own learning and that of the other members of the group.
The quality of the work proposed by the teacher and the attitudes and aptitudes shown by the students in this task will be assessed as a percentage of 5% of the final mark for the subject. 		5
Critical bibliographical A1 A2 A3 A10 A19 C1 C4 C6 The bibliographic review is a process of critical reading of a book, article, thesis or conference paper. As such, it involves reading the work, analysing its content and critiquing and evaluating it in relation to the existing literature on the subject. A review is not a summary of the work, nor a mere analysis of the content, as what gives it meaning and a scientific academic dimension is the critique it deserves in the opinion of the author of the review, in relation to other known works in the same field or in relation to his/her own experience.
The presentation of the reviews in due time and form, as well as their quality, will be evaluated as a percentage of 5% of the final mark for the subject. 		5
Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A2 A3 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A10 A11 A12 A13 A14 A15 A16 A17 A19 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 C1 C4 C6 C9 Test that integrates essay-type questions and objective test-type questions.
As for essay questions, it includes open-ended essay questions. In addition, as objective questions, it may combine multiple-choice, ordering, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association questions.
In order to be included in the final mark for the assessment of the subject, and to be eligible to pass it, a minimum of 4 points out of 10 must be obtained in the mixed test. The grade for this test accounts for 50% of the final mark for the subject. 		50
Practical test: A1 A3 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A11 A12 A16 B2 B3 A test in which the student is expected to develop totally or partially some practice that he/she has previously done during the practical classes. The practical test may previously include the resolution of a question/problem that results in the practical application of a particular technique or practice learned.
In order to be included in the final mark of the course evaluation, and to be able to pass it, the student must obtain at least 4 points out of 10 in the practical test. The grade for this test represents 30% of the final mark for the subject. 		30
 
Assessment comments

The percentages assigned to each test may undergo slight modifications from one course to another depending on the needs of the subject; however, the value of the exam (theoretical and practical) will never be less than 70% of the final grade, and the value of the continuous assessment (attendance, supervised work, revisions, etc.) will never be more than 30%.

The final grade will be established in a range from "0" to "10". This mark will be made up of the sum of the partial marks obtained in each of the sections of the assessment, in the corresponding percentage, as indicated in the scheme set out above. A pass mark will be obtained when the final average mark is "5".

In order to calculate the aforementioned average, the student must obtain a minimum score of 4 out of 10 points in both the mixed test and the practical test. If it is lower than 4 out of 10 points, the resulting grade will automatically be a fail.

Due to the nature and competence profile of the subject, the possibility of academic dispensation exempting part-time students from attending practical classes is not contemplated.

Students who have the option of Honours, in order to be eligible, must submit a report on the course content (both theoretical and practical), prepared by themselves, within the established deadline. If the evaluation of the report is positive, they will achieve the aforementioned qualification. In the event that there are more candidates than available Honours, an order of priority will be established.

Fraudulent performance in the assessment tests or activities will directly imply a failing grade in the corresponding exam session, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all the assessment activities for the extraordinary exam session.
