Assessment
Methodologies Competences Description Weight        
Problem solving, exercises in the classroom
A2
 Oral discussion by the student of proposed problems in the classroom. 20%
Mixed tests
A2
 There will be two tests throughout the course of the different blocks of the subject. It requires a minimum of 4.0 for each test to be accounted to the assessment. 80%
Others  
 
Other comments and second exam session

The 2nd call consists of only one test that includes exercises and problems to solve with a value of 80%.The grade obtained in the resolution of exercises during the course is maintained for the remaining 20%.During evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized for the test must be switched off and out of sight.The demonstration of fraudulent conduct of some evaluative activity of a subject in both material: virtual and electronic support, leads to the student the fail of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, in view of the seriousness of the facts, the centre may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector.
