Continuous assessment: 10 points of the overall grade.  
- Attendance at 85% of the classes is compulsory in order to pass the course (i.e. 12 of the 14 classes).
- Active participation in the classes. 
- Completion of exercises and practical activities in class and through Aula Global.
- Two written assessment tests: one in the 7th class, a short development test that will deal with the contents worked on in the previous classes; another in the 14th class: a development test on the whole of the syllabus taught in which students must summarise the contents dealt with and draw conclusions on the practical applications of the same at a professional level. They must also write a conclusion and personal self-assessment on the level of development they consider they have reached in the skill to which the subject refers.
- There may be other assessment tests that will be indicated in the weekly planning.
Percentage weight of the Final Exam: 0
Percentage weight of the rest of the evaluation: 10
Please note that, in accordance with current regulations, each enrolment in cross-disciplinary subjects, as in this case, will involve a single call and, in those cases in which the continuous assessment process includes a test, this must be taken during the timetable and in the classroom reserved for classes, as these cross-disciplinary subjects do not have a date reserved in the official exam calendars.
