Calendar of Continuous assessment

The evaluation system will be developed, on the one hand, through continuous evaluation (which will constitute 40% of the final mark) and a final exam (which will represent 60% of the final mark).

The continuous assessment will consist of two parts:
1.- A test or case study that will represent 20% of the final grade. 
2.- A test or case study that will represent 20% of the final grade.

The final exam will be theoretical and will represent 60% of the final grade. In order for the mark obtained in the continuous assessment to be added to the mark of the final exam, it will be necessary to have obtained at least 2 points out of 5 in the latter; in case of obtaining a lower mark, the mark of the continuous assessment will not be added to the mark of the final exam and the subject will be considered suspended.

In the extraordinary call (June) the exam will be theoretical (60%) and practical (40%). 

The teaching staff may only examine orally, and in this case several dates will be set for the exam, both in the ordinary and the extraordinary session.
