Students must obtain at least 40% of the maximum rate in the mixed test (final exam). Otherwise, they would not pass the subject even if the final rate (considering both practice and mixed test) were over 50%.

First opportunity: Students who did not perform any (one or more) of the evaluable tests corresponding to the "laboratory practice" from September to January, (for example, those who did not attend the class on the day of the test), will receive a "zero" rate in the corresponding test. Yet, they are allowed to attend the final exam (Mixed objective/subjective test) and could still pass the subject in the first opportunity.

Second opportunity: During the second opportunity it is possible to reach 100% of the maximum rate both in the practical test and in mixed test.

Attention to part-time students: In case that: (a) they could not attend to the (scheduled) classes corresponding to their group and they miss any of the "practical tests" for this reason, and (b) provided that they notified that issue with time enough to re-schedule their test within a different group; we will try to allow them to join a different group so that they could do the corresponding "practical test" in a different date.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Classroom lectures. In them the fundamental contents of the subject will be exposed. They include showing objectives, motivation, concept development, use, and summary.
Laboratory practice	In laboratory classes the knowledge needed to acquire the proposed skills are presented. In the laboratory practices, students will do exercises that will lead them to develop their operative skills.
Mixed objective/subjective test	It consists in a final exam that will contain both questions related to theoretical issues and problems to solve.
