Assistance at all the sessions is obligatory to be able to pass the subject.

The pass of the subject is obtained by obtaining a final grade of at least 5 points out of 10. The final grade is obtained according to the established percentages and the previously set restrictions.

First opportunity. At least a grade of 4 over ten in each of
the two parts of the final exam is required to take into consideration the rest
of the assessable activities. The final grade is obtained according to
the established percentages and the previously set restrictions

Second opportunity. Repetition of the mixed test. The final
grade is obtained according to the established percentages and the previously
set restrictions

In both oportunities, in spite of getting
a mark of five or above, over ten, by using the weighted average, the final
mark will be 4.5 if a least a grade of 4 over ten is not obtained in each of
the two parts of the final exam In both opportunities, a final grade of five
over ten is required to pass the subject.

The final grade is calculated by
considering all assessable activities and applying the weights indicated above.

Matricula de Honor
(MH). An extra exam will be carried out in case of
the number of student students, eligible for Matrícula de Honor, is greater
than the number of allowed MHs. Students assessed in the second opportunity
could also be eligible for Matrícula de Honor if the maximum allowed number of
MHs has not been fully covered in the first opportunity.

Part-time students and those exempted from
attending classes. It is necessary for students to inform
the teacher at the beginning of the course.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Sesións previas onde se presentarán os distintos módulos da materia e introduciranse os conceptos necesarios para as diferentes técnicas experimentais.
Laboratory practice	Laboratory practices and interpretation and analysis of experimental results. The student must upload in the Moodle / Onenote of the subject the different activities carried out during the sessions (laboratory notebook, brief review, graphics, etc.) in order to evaluate the use of the work sessions. A report will be delivered per module that will be written following the instructions of the teaching staff. The report will be made individually and dates will be established for delivery through the virtual field. Several dates will be established, within a group session, to expose individually the activities carried out during the practice sessions. The teacher will assign the activity. Several dates will be established, within a group session, to expose individually the activities carried out during the practice sessions. The teacher will assign the activity.
