The final grade will result from the student performance in all the activities under evaluation, which will include the three parts of the subject: Theory,Seminars and Labs, with a contribution to the final grade proportional to its contribution in time planning: 60% Theory, 20% Seminars and 20% Labs. All students will have two opportunities to pass the course:

In the first opportunity, a continuous evaluation will be carried out,including assignments, mid-term tests and a final exam (on a date set by the Faculty Board), with the following relative weighting: 60% Theory (30% mid-term tests + 30% final exam), 20% Seminars (10% assignments + 10% final exam), 20% Labs (10% assignments + 10% final exam).

60% Theory

20% Seminars

20% Labs

Both in the first and in the second opportunities it will be necessary
to pass each and every one of the three parts simultaneously (Theory, Seminars
and Labs) to pass the subject. A failed part may be offset with others if its
grade is at least 4/10. The average grade to pass the course must be a 5.0 out
of 10. Those students who submit and/or attend to any of the continuous evaluation
activities will be considered as presented (attended), receiving the
corresponding grade for the work submitted and/or tests carried out according
to their weighting, and a grade of zero in those works and/or tests in which
they have not presented anything or not attended to. In the event of not submitting any assignments and not taking any of the tests, the student will be considered as “not
presented” (NP).

Attendance to Seminars and Labs is not mandatory, but will be recorded.

The assignments to be handed in linked
to Seminars and Labs will consist on exercises of the activities carried out in
Seminars and Labs. Those reports will be prepared and handed in following the
indications given by the professor in charge of the subject (format, content,
deadlines, etc.) and their qualification will be subject to individual oral
examination, if necessary. These exercises must collect the work and
interpretation of each student.

The achievement of the Honours
mark (maximum qualification) will require, at least, a final grade of 9.0 or
higher, and the execution of all the assignments of the course.

For students who can use the
early December opportunity, the evaluation will consist of a final global exam
with a value of 100%, similar to that described for the second opportunity.

Students with officially recognized academic exemption are able to
participate in the proposed or equivalent activities and will have support by
tutoring (onsite or online).

The fraudulent execution of the exam or activities (once verified) will directly imply the failing of the subject and a grade of '0' in the corresponding call (first and second opportunities).
