| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Mid-term tests | 30.00% | 0.00% | Written exam (Unit 1/Tema 1) (P1). It can be re-evaluated in the final exam. It can be retaken with another exam |
| Mid-term tests | 30.00% | 0.00% | Written exam (Unit 2/Tema 2) (P2). It can be re-evaluated in the final exam. It can be retaken with another exam |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 10.00% | 10.00% | Laboratory tests and reports (L1, L2, L3). They cannot be retaken |
| Assessment of activities done in the computer labs | 10.00% | 10.00% | Numerical assignments and reports (N1, N2). They can be retaken with another report |

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:All numerical and laboratory tests (sessions and reports) are compulsory.

Every unit includes a mid-term test (P1, P2), laboratory tests (L1, L2, L3) and numerical assignments (N1, N2).
Any details on content, extension and requirements of written exercises will be indicated on virtual campus at the beginning of the semester.
In order to pass the subject, the following requirements must be satisfied: (at any time: mid-term tests, final exam o retake exam dates)

e) Global mark: [30*(P1+P2)+3.33*(L1+L2+L3)+5*(N1+N2+C1+C2+O1+O2)]/99.99>=5;
All minimum marks on this guide refer to (a maximum of) 10 points. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Unless stated otherwise, continuous evaluation criteria will be applied to all students.
