Mixed tests
A2
 There will be two tests throughout the course of the different blocks of the subject. Each will have a weight of 50% in the final grade. It requires a minimum of 4.0 for each test to be accounted to the assessment. 100%

2nd call

The 2nd call consists of part one and/or part two tests with a value of 50% each of them.

.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.
