Students must reach at least 20 points (out of a maximum of 40 possible) in the exam in order to pass the course. Students in the non-continuous assessment must obtain at least three quarters of the maximum exam score to pass the subject (at least 30 points out of the possible maximum of 40) on the June exam. All students who attend the July opportunity, whether they chose one kind of evaluation or another, must obtain at least 30 points out of the 40 possible maximums in the exam to pass the subject. 40

Assessment comments
Before the maximum date established, the student must communicate by e-mail to the teacher if they choose the continuous assessment or the non-continuous evaluation. It will be considered that all students who have not communicated their option electronically before the established deadline opt for the non-continuous evaluation.
In some of the lessons given by the teacher or the students' exhibition a signature sheet will be passed to control the attendance of the students. Students who opt for continuous assessment must attend at least 70% of the lessons in which the signature sheet were passed.
The professor reserves the right to introduce additional conditions throughout the course to those indicated in this guide, as long as they do not contradict what was expressed in it.
