The exercises of topics 1 and 2 will be evaluated and each one has a weight of 10% for the final mark. |

There are two partial eliminatory exams. |

Other comments and second exam session |

A minimum of 4/10 is mandatory in each of the partial tests. In addition, the average of the two exams must give a 5/10 to pass the subject. The second call consists of a single exam with all the content of the subject. The grade of the exam is the 80% of the final mark. The remaining 20% comes from the mark of the another activities. During the evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized by the test must be turned off and out of sight. The demonstratively fraudulent realization of any evaluative activity of any subject in both material and virtual and electronic support entails the student the failure mark of this evaluative activity. Regardless of this, given the seriousness of the facts, the center can propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector |
