Delivering correctly resolved the practices carried out during the course and in the indicated deadlines may mean an increase in the grade by a maximum of 10 points, and its value will be added to the Final note, provided that between Theory and Practice 50 points or more are reached.[PRES:10%] |

There will be two midterms. The first in the middle of the course and the last at the end of the school period.
The Theory grade will be calculated as: (Midterm 1 * 0.35) + (Midterm 2* 0.35). A minimum grade of 4 (out of 10) is required in each part in order to add them up to obtain the final grade of the Theory part.

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:
To overcome the subject the student must obtain a 50 out of 100 in the subject, fulfilling the following criteria:
- Theory: (Maximum 70 points):
It will be mandatory to reach 40% of the grade in the Theory part to be able to add it with the Practice part.
There will be two midterms. The first in the middle of the course and the last at the end of the school period.
The Theory grade will be calculated as: (Midterm1 * 35) + (Midterm2* 35). A minimum grade of 4 (out of 10) is required in each part in order to add them up and obtain the final grade of the Theory part.
The student who has not passed the Theory part in continuous evaluation will be allowed to take the ordinary exam with the midterm/s that he/she deems necessary to overcome the subject.
- Practice: (Maximum 30 points). It will be mandatory to reach 40% of the grade in the Practice part to be able to add them up with the Theory part. It will be evaluated with an exam on the same date as the ordinary exam of the subject.
To obtain the Final grade it is essential to have reached 40% of the grade of the Theory part and the Practice part. When this occurs, the final grade shall be calculated as:
Final = Theory + Practice + Participation
Participation: Actively participate in the activities developed in the classroom in the theory sessions may mean an increase in the grade by a maximum of 5 points (out of 100), and its value will be added to the Final note, provided that between Theory and Practice 50 points or more are reached.
If the minimum in Theory or Practice is not reached, the student will have a grade not exceeding 4 even if the sum obtained is another, including more than 5. This grade will be the highest of the parts not passed.
No part of the subject is saved from one academic year to another.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:
In the non-continuous evaluation the student can get up to 100% of the Final grade, and for this two exams will be carried out with the weight distribution and with the minimums demanded here:
- Theory part exam:70% of the grade, it is necessary to obtain at least a grade of 40% or more in this exam
- Practice part exam: 30% of the grade, it is necessary to obtain at least a grade of 40% or more in this exam
If after exceeding the minimums, the student achieves 50% of the mark as a global mark, he will pass the course and his numerical mark is the result of applying the indicated weights.
If the minimum in Theory or Practice is not achieved, the student will have a grade not exceeding 4 even if the sum obtained is another, including more than 5. This grade will be the highest of the parts not passed.
No part of the subject is saved from one academic year to another.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In the retake evaluation the student can get up to 100% of the Final grade, and for this two exams will be carried out with the weight distribution and with the minimums demanded here:
- Theory part exam:70% of the grade, it is necessary to obtain at least a grade of 40% or more in this exam
- Practice part exam: 30% of the grade, it is necessary to obtain at least a grade of 40% or more in this exam
If after exceeding the minimums, the student achieves 50% of the mark as a global mark, he will pass the course and his numerical mark is the result of applying the indicated weights.
If the minimum in Theory or Practice is not achieved, the student will have a grade not exceeding 4 even if the sum obtained is another, including more than 5. This grade will be the highest of the parts not passed.
No part of the subject is saved from one academic year to another.
Note * If the student in ordinary or continuous call passed the theory (50% of the exam - or exams - of the Theory part) or the practices (50% of the exam of the Practice part) that grade can be saved for the extraordinary call, applying in the corresponding section and with the final formula 70-30 as indicated above.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same criteria as in the retake exam
