In order to pass the subject, the student must obtain a minimum score of 5 out of 10 in the result of combining the grades of the objective test, the laboratory practices and the supervised works. In addition, the student must obtain a minimum score of 2.4 out of 6 points in the objective test. If the student does not obtain this minimum grade, the grade of the subject will be that corresponding to the grade of the objective test.

In the second opportunity, the grade obtained in the laboratory practices and supervised works will be maintained, not being able to obtain again a grade since it results from the continuous evaluation of the work during the credits of practice of the subject. The student can retake the examination of the objective test, the criteria for obtaining the total score being those indicated at the beginning of this section.

Part-time students must turn in their papers on the same date as full-time students, and attend the GRTs in which they will be corrected. Similarly, it is recommended that you attend the practice classes.
