As stated in Step 5, grading is primarily based on the idea of continuous assessment and so, the FINAL EXAM IS NOT REQUIRED for those students being successful during this continuous assessment. For the rest of students a final exam will be carried out for the specific parts of the subject (i. e., lectures 65%, workshops 25% or lab sessions 25%) that they failed |

Students are required to obtain a final grade of at least 5.0 out of 10 to pass this subject. However, each of the three main parts making up the assessment (lectures, workshops and lab sessions) can be compensated among them getting a grade of at least 4.0. Students passing any of the three parts (lectures, workshops and lab sessions) are given the opportunity to keep this mark for the two grading opportunities (January and July), being only examined of those parts which they failed. However, all the teaching-learning process of this subject is based on the idea of being developed in the current term. This means that for successive terms the student is suppossed to fullfill all the assignments scheduled for those specific terms. Under exceptional
justified reasons, such as part-time learning, or students with special
educational needs, specific assessments could be undertaken.
The grade “no show” will
be given only to those students who have not participated in more than 20% of
the assessed activities during the term.
