Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:
The default mode assigned to the student will be continuous assessment. Any student may request a change to the non-continuous assessment mode (before the end of the class period) by sending an email to the teacher, provided that they have not completed 50% of the evaluable activities.
In order to pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4 out of 10 in each of the evaluable activities. In any case, the course will only be considered passed if the overall grade, weighting the different evaluable activities according to the table above, results in a mark of 5 or higher (out of 10).
All the evaluable activities will be recoverable, either in the extraordinary or special completion call. However, attendance to the practicals, due to their nature, is considered as a compulsory and not recoverable activity in order to pass the subject.
-
