Assessment comments

It is required at least 40% of lab exercises and 40% of the written exam. If these conditions are not met but the final mark (applying the formula) is above 5 then the final mark will be 4 (Fail) out of 10. Thus, an 8 in labs and 3 in examn then the  pondered mark is 5.5, but in the academic record of the student it will be specified a 4 (Fail).

Failing in June means that there is an opportunity of retake the exam in July, maintaiining the lab qualification. In this case it will be required only a 40% in the written exam and a final note over 5.

Part time students will be specially considered in order to support his/jer work. There will be some addtional flexibility and personalized treatment for them.
