Supervised projects B2 B6 C3 Elaboration of supervised projects and presentation in the classroom.
Performing an activity and objective test.

Objective test A8 B1 A first test (theory and problems) will be carried out about half of the semester. The subject taught until then will be evaluated. At the end of course, a partial second test (theory and problems) will be performed for students who have passed the first test. Simultaneously a global test (theory and problems) will be performed for students who have not approved the first test.
Each test consists of two independent parts, being necessary to obtain a minimum score on each part to compensate:
- Theory, maximum score 4 points, minimum score 1.5 points to compensate.
- Problems, maximum score 3 points, 1 point minimum to compensate score.

Assessment comments

A minimum of 75% of the laboratory practical classes have to be carried out by each student to be evaluated .

A minimum mark of 3 points is requested in the test to take into account the other marks.

For students being recognized officially as partial-time and entitled
not to attend the lectures, the final exam represent 80% of the final
grade and supervised projects 20%.
