The final grade is the sum of:

- "Mixed test": up to 7 points.

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

To pass the course it is necessary to get a minimum of 5 points in that sum. Restriction: it is necessary 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 final grade will be the grade obtained in the “mixed test”.

Since this is a continuous assessment model: the progression of the student throughout the semester can be graded with a maximum of 1 point that could be added to the final mark when the minimum in the mixed test is achieved.

The student will be graded if his/her participation in the course represents more than 20% of the global activities of the course.

In accordance with the regulations (“Probas de Avaliación e Actas de Cualificación de Grao e Mestrado”), the "2nd opportunity" (July) is only a second chance for the final exam (“mixed test”). The grade on this 2nd opportunity of the “mixed test” will be added to those obtained during the course in “problem solving” + “workshops” . The percentages are the same as in the "1st opportunity".

“Matricula de honor (MH)” is the highest grade, awarded to very outstanding students having passed the course in the “1st opportunity”. MH can be achieved in the "2nd opportunity" only if still available.

Only in very exceptional circumstances (adequately justified) the student may be exempted from the on going evaluation process. In that case, he must pass a special examination to prove, without any doubt, the overall level of knowledge and skills.

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.

Those students having a part-time dedication to the course, and thus waiver of assistance to the on-site academic activities according to the regulations of UDC, will be assessed as follows: 30% of the overall grade corresponds to the assessment of the personal work of the student (solution of problem-sheets), short tests and the personal interviews. The grades corresponding to this part are valid for both the first (June) and second (July) opprotunities. The remaining 70% of the grade corresponds to the assessment of the mixed test. Students have a second chance to be assessed with a mixed test in July. The grade obtained in July for the mixed test replaces that obtained in June. Given that the assessment of the course is based on a continuum-assessment model, students that do not pass the course will be treated as new students in the subsequent academic years.
