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)

In the case of the second opportunity, there will be a single final exam (on a date set by the Faculty Board) that will include questions on the three parts of the subject with the following weighting:

60% Theory

20% Seminars

20% Practicals

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 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 or not attended. In case of not submitting assignments or not taking any of the tests, they will be considered as not presented.

Attendance to Seminars and Labs is not mandatory.

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 (format, content, deadlines, etc.) and their qualification will be subject to individual oral examination, if necessary. These exercises must collect the individual 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.

The fraudulent execution of the exam or activities will directly imply the grade of '0' in the subject in the corresponding opportunity. 

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 have support by tutoring (onsite or online).
