In order to pass the subject the student must obtain, at least, 5 points of a maximum of 10. Additionally, it is also necessary to obtain at least 3 points (of a maximum of 7) in the final written exams.

The student will get the "No Presentado" final mark in the case in which
she/he does not take part in at least 20% of the assessments activities.

All the issues that we will cover all trough the term are described in the syllabus. The sources of information are detailed in the suggested references.

Those who have to make use of the second
opportunity to pass the subject will be evaluated exactly as those who
have passed the subject in the first opportunity.

Those who have to make use of the "early opportunity" must get at least 5, out of 10, to pass the subject. The same criterion would be applied to the part time students and to those who have "dispensa académica de exención de asistencia" according to UDC's regulation.
