Assessment

The evaluation system of this subject is structured in two clearly differentiated sections:
1. Practical part: The students will carry out the different practices that the teachers will propose in the classroom. This practical part will have a value of 5 points of the final note of the subject. The average mark of these practices will be added to the average obtained from the individual theoretical tests as long as they have been passed in the conditions specified in the following section *.
2. Individual theoretical tests Written exam: written tests that allow to evaluate the knowledge acquired by the student. Students must pass two individual theoretical tests. The value of the same will be of 2.5 points, each one, with regard to the final note of the asignatura. Being the total value of 5 out of 10 points.
 
* The student who obtains, at least, a 3.5 out of 10 of the set of the theoretical proofs will be able to add him the note that has obtained of the practical part. To pass the subject it will be necessary to reach and, in accordance with the previous conditions, a 5 out of 10.
