The final grade is the sum of:

- "Mixed test": up to 7 points

- "Problem solving" + "workshop": up to 3points

To pass the course it is necessary to get a minimum of5 points in that sum. Restriction: it isnecessary to obtain a minimum of 2.8 (relative to a maximum of 7) in the“mixed test”. If this minimum of 2.8 is not reached, the finalgrade will be the grade obtained in the “mixed test”

Since this is a continuous assessment model:

1. theprogression of the student throughout the semester can be graded with a maximumof 1 point that can be added to the final mark;
2. the student will be graded if his/her participation in the course represents more than 20% of theglobal activities of the course;
3. in accordance with the regulations (“Probas de Avaliación e Actas de Cualificación de Grao eMestrado”), the "2nd opportunity" (July) is only a second chance forthe final exam (“mixed test”). Thegrade on this 2nd opportunity of the “mixed test” will be added to thoseobtained during the course in “problem solving” + “workshops” . The percentages are the same as in the "1st opportunity".
4. “Matricula de honor (MH)” is the highest grade,awarded to very outstanding students having passed the course in the “1st opportunity”. MHcan be achieved in the "2nd opportunity" only if still available.

Only in veryexceptional circumstances (adequately justified) the student may be exemptedfrom the ongoing evaluation process. In that case, he must pass a specialexamination to prove, without any doubt, the overall level of knowledge andskills.

The teaching methodology and all activities performed during the course are designed according to a continuous evaluation model scheduled for a single academic year. Thus, the possibility of transferring partial qualifications to successive academic courses is not allowed.
