General Observations

In order to pass this course the average mark of the different tasks and assessment tests must be 5 out of 10. In addition, the minimum mark of each task (case study, problem solving and laboratory practices), as well as the objective test could not be less than 4, even if the total average mark is 5 or more. Likewise, students must carry out at least half the required activities. If this is not the case, student will not be graded and will be recorded as "non presentado" (absent) in the official report. Students who do not sit for the official exam will also obtain NP ("non presentado"), regardless of the activities carried out previously. Students who do not pass the course will be able to opt for the July opportunity (see section below).

Students are expected to complete all the assignments and readings suggested by the lecturer(s), and to come to the sessions prepared to discuss them. Students must visit the eLearning platform for the course regularly. Students are expected to check their university email on a regular basis: announcements and last-minute changes will be notified via email.

July Opportunity Students who fail to pass the subject in January will be required to take the “second opportunity” in July, with the following distribution of percentages:

1. Objective test (40%)
2. Laboratory practice (20%)
3. Case study (20%)
4. Problem solving (20%)

Students who have passed any part of the subject (with a mark higher than 5), will not have to repeat it in July.
Continuous assessment activities that cannot be repeated outside the classroom context will be replaced by other equivalent ones. The teaching staff will contact the students who have to attend the July opportunity to specify the steps to follow.

Part-time Students

Students who are officially registered as part time, and have been granted permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria specified for the second opportunity.
