a) Written test with a weight of 70% of the final grade.
b) Execution and improvement of laboratory practices; with a weight of 15% of the final grade.
c) Resolution of cases or problems; with a weight of 15%.
In order to apply the weighted average, it is established as a requirement to have successfully passed tests A and B. In the case of not passing any of them, the calculation of the weighted average will not be applied, but the grade of the passed (A or B) will be kept for the extraordinary call. -
