Other comments and second exam session

The course will be divided into two parts in which there will be a practical test in each of them and a set of practices. In each part there will be a mark which will come from 70% of the practical test score, and 30% from the set of practices carried out during the course. The final grade of the subject in continuous evaluation will be obtained from the arithmetic mean of the two marks of the two parts. The requirement to be able to perform the arithmetic mean is that 4 must be the minimum mark in each one of the parts. In case there is a part with a grade lower than 4, or that the arithmetic mean of the parts does not reach 5, it will be necessary to do a resit to retake the part or the parts whose marks had been lower than 5. To pass the final exam, the arithmetic mean between the marks of the two parts must be equal or higher than 5, with the requirement that the minimum grade obtained in each of the parts must be 3. In this final exam will no longer be taken into account the marks of the practices made during the course. The mark will come exclusively from the grade obtained in the final exam.

Students who wish to do it, and who have obtained a minimum mark B, will have the option to do the final exam to raise the grade. In this case, the final grade of the subject will be the highest grade between the mark obtained in the course and the mark obtained in the final exam.
