In case of a justified absence (illness, etc.) the qualification of this activity will be considered but restrictions may apply.
- Attendance and participation in the laboratory practical lectures. All activities and exercises will be assessed. The acquisition of laboratory skills and competences will be assessed as well.
- Self-learning, teamwork and oral presentation. The assessment will take into account the quality and clarity of the presentation and the knowledge demonstrated during the discussion of the subject.
- Synthesis exam. It will include questions on all the topics covered throughout the module. A minimum grade of 4/10 will be required.
B. In order to pass this module, compulsory attendance is required at a minimum of 80% of the on-site class hours of the module. The final average grade of the module must be equal to or greater than 5 out of 10.
