| Laboratory practicals |
|
Attendance at practicals is a prerequisite to pass the course. 30% corresponds to the personal work in the laboratory and the remaining 20% to a written test. A minimum of 4 points from the written test and 5 points (over 10) from the personal work are required to pass this part of the course. A minimum pondered qualification of 5 points (over 10) is required to pass the course. The use or possession of devices to communicate and data transmission during written tests are forbidden. |
50% | ||||
| Short-answer objective tests |
|
The student has to answer one partial written test of short questions. A minimun of 4,75 points from the written test is required to pass this part of the course. The use or possession of devices to communicate and data transmission during written tests are forbidden. |

| Others |
| Other comments and second exam session | |||
|
In the second call, only the marks corresponding to the written tests can be recovered, keeping the notes of the practices in the laboratory (if this part of the subject has been approved). During evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices not expressly authorized by the test must be switched off and out of sight. The demonstration of fraudulent conduct of some evaluative activity of some subject in both material and virtual and electronic support leads to the student the suspension note of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, in view of the seriousness of the facts, the center may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector. |
