TRAINING ACTIVITIES
Lectures
Sessions where the basic contents that the student must know are presented. Likewise, the possible ways to complete or deepen the information received in these sessions are indicated.

a) Both the knowledge acquired in relation to the objectives set in the subject and the degree of the skills and competences that were to be developed will be taken into account.
b) The dates of the assessment tests and the concretion of the practices for the teams will be published in the Virtual Campus as it is convenient.
c) The final grade will be obtained from the sum of the scores of the three scheduled activities: test on the assigned readings (2.5 points), team practice (2.5 points) and final test (5 points) . The student has the right to a recovery of the final test, over 5 points, if he has not passed the subject in the continuous assessment. To pass the subject it is necessary to have obtained a minimum score of 1.5 points in practice and in the final test. If this minimum grade is not reached in any of the two activities evaluated, the final grade will be a 3 (fail). The qualification is obtained, non-evaluable, if the student has not participated in more than one of the three evaluation activities.
d) For the final assessment activity, a place, date and time of revision will be indicated, in which the student can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims may be made on the activity grade, which will be evaluated by the faculty responsible for the subject. If the student does not attend this review, the activity will not be reviewed later.
e) The current regulations established by the UAB will be applied when deciding what students pass the course with honors.
