Attendance at the theoretical and laboratory sessions, and the delivery of the corresponding reports of the activities is a necessary condition for the evaluation of the subject.

 

It will be up to the teachers of the subject to decide on the possibility of adding activities that allow the recovery of the suspended activities.

 

It is compulsory to carry out all the activities to obtain the final grade of the subject. The algorithm for calculating the mark is only applied if the weighted average mark of the Exam Activities is greater than or equal to 4. Otherwise the subject is suspended.

 

The recovery exam only gives the option to pass the subject with a grade of 5, except in the case where the weighted average grade of the first 4 activities is equal to or higher than 8. In this case the final grade will correspond to the weighted average grade of all the activities in the subject (the make-up exam corresponds only to the Exams activities).

 

For the other activities, if the result of their evaluation is not satisfactory, or the teachers consider it opportune, they will be able to summon members of a group to carry out an individualized evaluation test.
