8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System

Evaluation System	Continuous assessment	Non-continuous evaluation *	Description
Final test	70.00%	90.00%	This is the final test, mandatory to assess the adquired knowledge of the course. To pass the subject it is mandatory to reach 4 points (over 10) in the exam. The final test is assessable and compensable.
Practicum and practical activities reports assessment	15.00%	10.00%	The attendance to practice sessions is mandaroty and not compensable. In the session the skills and the attitude of the studend will be assessed, together with the elaboration of a experiment report. To pass the subject it is mandatory to reach 4 points (over 10) in practice evaluation.
Projects	15.00%	0.00%	It is mandatoyr to elaborate and defend a project related with the subject. The knowledge and the preparation of the student will be assessed.
Total:	100.00%	100.00%

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:

The continuous assessent will be the default choice for each student. Any student can solicitate to shift to the no continuos evaluation, before the end of the class period, by email to the professor. This will be possible only if less of the 50% of the evaluation test is done. To pass the subject it is mandatory to reach 5 points (over 10). It is mandatory to reach at least 4 points in the final test, at least 4 points in the the practical activities and present and defend the project. The final grade of the subjet will be calculated by the percentages depicted in the evaluation system.
Non-continuous evaluation:

In the non continuos assessent, to pass the subject it is mandatory to reach 5 points (over 10). It is mandatory to reach at least 4 points in the final test and at least 4 points in the the practical activities. The final grade of the subjet will be calculated by the percentages depicted in the evaluation system.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
