Assessment System

ORDINARY CALL: 40% continuous evaluation + 60% final exam.

Continuous evaluation: partial exams and a project designing an overhead power line.

Laboratory practices are mandatory to pass the ordinary call.

The teacher can exempt any student from the final examination as long as they have made all intermediate exercises with a minimum grade of 3  in every of them, and have an average partial test grade equal/greater than 6 points (not including the line project). The students accomplishing these conditions and wanting to improve their grades can do the final exam considering that the grade will be weighted with the continuous evaluation one.

60 % Final exam consisting of theory and problems of the whole subject .

EXTRAORDINAY CALL

Best grade between:
- 40% continuous evaluation + 60% final exam, and
- 100% final exam.

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