Due to the applied nature or special characteristics of the subject, the evaluation is of papers, projects, presentations, exercises, internships and workshops throughout the course. Represents 100% of the final grade, thus evaluation is not possible with a final exam.

For the evaluation of this subject, a continuous assessment process will be exclusively followed, according to the following parameters:

- Formative assessment based on self-assessment exercises to measure the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, and practical activities and exercises: up to 70% of the final grade.

- Final test held on the last day of classes, during usual hours: up to 30% of the final grade (ON-SITE)
