Continuous assessment:The laboratory practicals (25%), the resolution of problems or cases (5%), and the partial tests (70%) will be assessed. The assessment of the training activities passed by the student will be retained up to a maximum of two academic years after the current one.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:The course will be assessed taking into account the laboratory practicals (25%), the resolution of problems or cases (5%) and the final exam (70%). The assessment of the training activities passed by the student will be retained for a maximum of two academic years.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The evaluation will be based on the resit/retake exam. The evaluation of the training activities passed by the student will be retained for a maximum of two academic years.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The evaluation will be based on the second resit/retake exam. The evaluation of the training activities passed by the student will be retained for a maximum of two academic years.
