Assessment System

% end-of-term-examination 40
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 60

Calendar of Continuous assessment

Continuous assessment:

SE2 [60%] Individual assignments and exams carried out during the course related to the theoretical and laboratory contents

SE3 [40%] Final exam

To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain at least 40% of its weight in the final exam and that the sum between the practical part and the final exam must exceed 50% of the total weight.

Non-continuous evaluation:
The final exam will contain at least 50% of contents related to the laboratory practices

For the extraordinary evaluation, the process will be the same as described above.
