First oportunity:

The final exam of the subject will include theoretical and practical questions of multiple options, although there is also the possibility of the inclusion of questions with longer answers and problems (70%). The aspects and criteria that will be considered to evaluate activities of the Practices through the TIC and seminars are the attendance, participation and individual and group commitment, coherence of the contents addressed, demonstrated knowledge and competences referred for this matter. The qualification system shall be expressed by numerical qualification in accordance with the provisions of art. 5 del Real Decreto 1125/2003 of September 5 (BOE September 18), establishing the European system of credits and the system of qualifications in university degrees of official character and valid throughout the national territory. Qualification system: 0-4.9 = Fail 5-6.9 = Approved 7-8.9 = Notable 9-10 = Outstanding 9-10 Honor Registration (“Graciable”).

Those students who have some kind of exceptionality to attend the class legally granted speak with the teacher at the beginning of the course to establish the corresponding tutorials and evaluation systems.

Second oportunity:

The same procedure corresponding to the first oportunity will be applied in the second opportunity.
