According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:
A minimum of 4 out of 10 in the final test to assess theoretical knowledge is required to pass the subject. It is compulsory to pass the laboratory sessions to pass the subject: compulsory attendance and the mark of the final test of laboratory sessions must be equal to or higher than 4/10. The marks of the oral presentation and the progress test will be also used to calculate the mark of this call. To pass the subject, it is mandatory to obtain a score equal to or higher than 5 out of 10.
The modality granted by default to the student will be the continuous evaluation. Any student may request the change to the non-continuous evaluation modality (before the end of the class period) by sending an email to the teacher, provided that they have not completed more than 50% of the evaluable activities.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:
To pass the subject, it is mandatory to obtain a score equal to or higher than 4 out of 10 in the final test to assess theoretical knowledge and in the final test of laboratory sessions. Laboratory practices are mandatory to pass the subject. To pass the subject, it is mandatory to obtain a score equal to or higher than 5 out of 10.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Continuous assessment:
Only the final test to assess theoretical knowledge and the final test of laboratory sessions can be re-taken, as long as its/their mark/s is/are lower than 5/10. If the mark of one of these tests is equal to or higher than 5/10, this mark will be used to calculate the mark of this call. The marks of the oral presentation and the progress test will be also used to calculate the mark of this call. Laboratory practices are mandatory to pass the subject. To pass the subject, it is mandatory to obtain a score equal to or higher than 5 out of 10.

Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
To pass this examination there will be only a final test that will represent 100% of the mark. It will be an essential requirement to have previously performed the laboratory sessions.
