The exam in official call will consist of objective questions (short questions or test type, in this case the erroneous answers subtract points) and problem solving in this case with a maximum form of 2 pages. The resolution of the exam may require the use of Excel. 60% de la nota final
(Para poder presentarse la nota media de las pruebas de evaluación continuada ha de ser superior a 3)

Other comments and second exam session

In order to be able to take the final exam and be able to pass the subject, it is necessary to have obtained an average grade in the continuous assessment tests (the two partials carried out throughout the course and the questionnaires, weighted by their respective weights) greater than 3.

The second call: The structure of the exam is identical to that of the first call but the mark of this test is 100% of the final grade of the subject.

In all mixed tests it may be necessary to know and use Excel, and therefore the use of a computer, to carry out the exercises. 

In this case the use of any messaging application is prohibited. Likewise, it is strictly forbidden in the classroom to use telephones and other mobile devices that can connect to the outside. The use of these applications or devices will mean the student's expulsion from the classroom
