In order to get the most out of the subject, students must attend all face-to-face activities.

Completion of the practical sessions is compulsory in order to pass the course.

First chance: In order to pass the subject, students must obtain a minimum mark of 4 (out of 10) in each of the examinable parts (laboratory practicals, seminars and mixed test). The final grade will be obtained by applying the percentages and restrictions previously established, with a final grade of 5 (out of 10) or higher being required.

The student will receive the grade of "not presented" if he/she does not attend either the laboratory practicals or the mixed test.

Second Opportunity: At the second opportunity, the mixed test will be taken and its grade will replace the grade obtained at the first opportunity, maintaining the grades of the lab practicals and seminars at the first opportunity. If a student has received a grade of less than 5 in the seminars and has attended at least 50% of the seminar hours, he/she may attempt to improve this grade through a non-attendance activity similar to that offered to students with academic exemptions. The final mark will be determined by applying the percentages and restrictions set out above, with a final mark of 5 or above (out of 10) required. Students assessed at the second opportunity will only be eligible for an honours degree if the maximum number of honours for the relevant course has not been fully covered at the first opportunity.

Advanced setting: the mixed examination will be taken, the qualification of which will replace that obtained in the previous year, maintaining the qualifications of the remaining assessable activities. The final grade will be obtained taking into account the percentages of the current year.

In any case, if a minimum mark of 4/10 is not achieved in each of the assessable parts, the subject will be failed, even if the final mark, calculated according to the corresponding percentages, is equal to or higher than 5/10. In this case, the final grade will be 4.5/10.

Successive academic years: the teaching-learning process, including the assessment, refers to an academic year, therefore it starts from scratch with each academic year.

Students with recognition of part-time commitment and an officially recognised academic exemption: the same assessment criteria will be applied as above (except for the part of the seminars where the student, after sending the lecturer the resolution granting the exemption, will receive the appropriate instructions to develop an alternative activity similar to the face-to-face one, but which can be carried out remotely). The practical sessions will be facilitated within the flexibility allowed by the coordination timetables and the material and human resources. 

The use of any device with Internet access is prohibited at all times during the tests unless otherwise specified. If there is evidence of unauthorised use of these devices during the exam, the student will be removed from the classroom and dealt with in accordance with the regulations in force, the university coexistence and the disciplinary rules of the UDC student body.

The fraudulent performance of the tests and/or activities will directly imply the qualification of failure ("0") in the subject in the corresponding call, invalidating any qualification obtained in all the activities for the next opportunity, if any, within the same academic year.
