C) GRADING OPPORTUNITIES: 1. First opportunity: Besides the evaluation criteria previously indicated in this section, the first opportunity is substituted

for two midterms exams which will be carried out during the teaching period. Each midterm will weight between 40%-60% of the final grade

(for instance if the first midterm weights 60% the second will weight 40% and viceversa to ensure a final grade of 100%).

Each of midterms will consist of a multiple choice questions (with only one correct answer per question).

The midterms may also include short questions to explain contents of the subject and/or problems solving.

For the case of multiple choice questions, wrong answers will have penalization

2. Second opportunity : There will be only the exam at the "second opportunity" (July call) where

the weight of this exam will be 100% of the final grade for the subject. This exam may consist of a multiple choice questions

(with only one correct answer per question). The exam may also include short questions to explain contents of the subject and/or

problems solving.

For the case of multiple choice questions, wrong answers will have penalization.

3. Advance call : The evaluation conditions of the advanced call will be specific for this opportunity.

This will be evaluated through a mixed test that will represent 100% of the final grade

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The classroom teacher explains each of the themes of the program content. Use the waxed and technologies available. Students solve any doubts that it faces. At the end of each master class it opens a time of clarification, comments, etc.
Problem solving	During the teaching period problem sets will be proposed to be solved by the students, as well as the realization of works. The problems and cases will be closely related to each of the topics explained in the lecture sessions. As the topics are explained, evaluations of the topics covered may be proposed.
Objective test	The first opportunity is replaced by the midterm exams (two multiple choice exams, the first one will take place during the teaching period and the second will coincide with the date set for the first opportunity in the official calendar) which may consist of a series of tests such as multiple choice exam, problem solving, short questions development, etc. In the midterms exams, incorrect questions will subtract score There will only be the exam on the second opportunity (July call) where the weight of this exam will be 100% of the final grade for the subject. This test may consist of a battery of multiple choice questions with multiple answers, only one of the answers being correct. The exam may also include questions for the development of the contents of the program and / or problems solving. In the case of multiple choice exams, wrong answers will have penalization.
