8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 50.00% | 50.00% | Minimum grade in this part to pass the subject: 5 points out of 10. |
| Theoretical papers assessment | 35.00% | 35.00% | During the course, the student must carry out a group work and an oral presentation about it in class. This activity is mandatory and must be done during the course. To pass the student must obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10. |
| Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 15.00% | The attendance and the delivery of the documentation of the practical classes are mandatory requirements to pass the subject. Minimum grade in this part to pass the subject: 5 points out of 10. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
