The subject is taught throughout the 3 terms of the course (annual subject), but is divided into two modules. The 1st module covers the 1st trimester, and the 2nd module covers the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.

The evaluation of the 1st module is carried out through a face-to-face exam with a value of 100% on the final grade of the 1st module (NM1). The exam will consist of a theoretical and practical part. The student will be able to retake this first module before starting the second module in case of failure.

Practice days will be focused on solving practical exercises and theoretical quizzes. The aim is to acquire the necessary tools for correct monitoring of the 2nd Module. The solution to these will be posted on the intranet once all the groups in the subject have done the current practice.

The teacher reserves the right to evaluate 2-3 practices out of the 5 to be completed during the first module. These practices will have a value of 30% on the final grade and, therefore, the final exam 70%.

The Note of the 2nd Module (N2M) is obtained:

N2M = 0,1 · AA2T + 0,3 · AA3T + 0,2 · AAP2T + 0,4 · AAP3T

• Assessable activity/s of the 2nd term (AA2T), carried out in the Practice Groups and during the class period of the 2nd term.
• Evaluable activity/s of the 3rd term (AA3T), carried out in the Practice Groups and during the class period of the 3rd term.
• Partial Assessable Activity 2nd term (AAP2T), carried out in the period of final exams of the 2nd term.
• Partial Evaluable Activity 3rd Quarter (AAF3T), carried out during the period of final exams of the 3rd quarter.

The condition for delivering each evaluable activity is to have attended the corresponding session.

In order to pass the subject, a minimum mark of 4 (four) is established in the qualification of each of the modules.

The recovery of the modules (1st and 2nd) is carried out in the period of the recovery exams of the 3rd quarter.

The Final Grade (NF) of the subject is obtained by weighting the grade of each of the modules as follows:

NF = 0,33 · N1M + 0,66 N2M
