Activity 7: Final exam (50% of the overall mark)

Activity 8: Participation (10% of the overall grade)

A minimum grade of 5 in the final exam is required to add up the rest of the activities; in case of not reaching this mark, the subject will be suspended and it will be necessary to go to recovery exam. The resit exam also requires a minimum grade of 5 before applying the same weighting.

It will not be possible to recover the activities of the practical part nor to do additional works to improve note. The weight of the practical activities will be maintained in the calculation of the final mark of the students who make the recovery.

Class attendance of not less than 70% is required. In case of non-compliance, the student will not be able to take the exam, without the possibility of recovery.

Identification of plagiarism is considered a serious circumstance that may lead to a failing grade in the subject. In case of detection of plagiarism, the coordination of the degree will be informed so that the corresponding disciplinary measures can be taken
