To pass the subject it is necessary to obtain an overall rating equal to 5 points or higher (out of 10) in one of the two calls (January and July). A score below 4,5 on the objective test and/or 5 in the laboratory practices implies failing the subject.

The completion of all the
laboratory practices is mandatory to pass the subject. Nevertheless, the student may miss 2 of the 7 sessions. If the student
does not justify the absence, the grade for that practice will be 0 and he/she
will not be able to recover it. If the absence is justified, whenever possible,
the experiments will be performed with another group, and if not possible, they
will not be taken into account in the evaluation. When the final grade of the laboratory practices is lower
than 5, the teacher will return the report, indicating the sources of error,
which must be corrected by the student and delivered for a new assesstment by
the teacher. The qualification of this second review will be definitive and will be applied for the calculation of the global
qualification, both in the first and in the second opportunity.

The attendance to the supervised work is mandatory to pass the subject. Students who attend less than 50% of those tutorials will obtain a qualification lower than 50% in this section for both assessment opportunities in January and July, regardless of their qualification obtained in the short tests during tutorials or via Moodle. In the second opportunity of July, in order to obtain the global qualification, the qualification obtained during the course in this section will be maintained.

In the specific case of students with recognition of part-time dedication
and academic assistance waiver, the mark of the tutored work will be replaced
by that obtained in the personal tutorials, counting as 25% of the overall
grade in the first and the second opportunities. In case of exceptional, and
appropriately justified circumstances, the teacher may fully or partly exempt
any student to perform the continuous evaluation process. In such case the students
will undergo a specifically designed test, in any of the opportunities
scheduled. In this specific case, the student will
perform the laboratory practices in the group with the schedule that best fits
his/her situation. 

"Not attended" assessment mark will be applied when the students attend less than 25% of the planned academic activities (supervised work and practices), and do not assist to the objective test.

Fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, after verification, will directly imply a qualification of failure (0) in the corresponding oportunity.
