Students must pay special attention to the planning section. It is essential that they understand that to be succesful in the course they should work around 150 hours (50 presential). Non presential activities include (but are not limited to) studying for the final exam and preparation of reports. All students that participate in more than 30% of the activities of the course will obtain a qualification. To pass the course in the first opportunity, students must participate at least in 70% of the activities of the course. All students must obtain at least 4,5 points out of 10 in the written exam (and at least 4 in the different parts of the written text) and 4 out of 10 points in the rest of the activities. The final (overall) grade of the course must be above 5 points (out of 10).

To pass the course in the second opportunity (July) all students (depending on the grades obtained in the first opportunity) must take a written exam and/or a lab test. The obtained qualifications will be kept only during the academic term (January-July). On a case by case basis, those students that, for justified reasons, are
not able to participate in all the programmed activities will be given
alternative options to pass the course.

Students with officially recognised academic exemption or who participate in equality and diversity support programs are welcome to participate in this subject. The teachers will adapt the different compulsory activities in order to enable these students to fulfill the aims of the course.
