The continuous evaluation consists of 2 parts:

1. Development of a project in groups of maximum 4 people throughout the course. Partial reviews will be conducted, but there will only be one final grade based on the submission of a final report. This part represents 40% of the grade (25% of the written report, 5% for the surveys following the indications provided in class, and 10% for the oral presentation).

2. The result of two tests. There will be two tests with two parts: one part related to the theoretical topics and another part with the content of the analysis part of the subject. The Moddle classroom will be used and its schedule will be published in the Moddle classroom, so continuous monitoring of it is recommended. This part represents 60% of the mark and each test will have the same weight.

The student must achieve a minimum grade of 3.5 in the project and 5 in the average of the individual tests in order to apply the weightings. If the student does not achieve these grades, she/he may be eligible for re-assessment if the combined weighted mark of the two assessment components is 3.5 or higher.

A student is considered "Not assessable" in the subject when he has not participated in any of the assessment activities or if he communicates that he leaves the subject before the 8th week of the course.
