CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
The evaluation method of this subject is structured in two clearly differentiated sections:
1. Practical exercises:
The student must carry out two practical exercises that with a value of 2.5 points, each one, with respect to the final grade.
The mark of these exercises (5 points (maximum mark) with respect to the final mark of the subject) will be added to the average obtained from the individual theoretical tests provided that they have been passed under the conditions specified in the following section *.
To carry out these practices it is essential to have the Penal Code (physically).
2. Theoretical tests:

The student must pass two multiple choice written tests. Their value is 2.5 points each, with respect to the final grade for the subject. Being the total value of 5 points out of 10.
* The student who obtains a 2 out of 5 from the set of theoretical tests may be added to the note that she has obtained from the practical part.
Not assessable
The student who, after the termination of continued evaluation, does not make 50% of the supplies of this year, will be counted as not assessable.
Single Assessment
Students who opt for the single assessment will take a written multiple choice test* with a value of 5 points out of 10 and a practical exercise with a value of 5 points out of 10.
* The student who obtains a 2 out of 5 in the theoretical test will be able to add the note that she has obtained from the practical part.
The date for these tests will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the final test of the continuous assessment.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.
Recovery exam.
The student who does not pass the subject, who does not reach 5 (total) out of 10, in accordance with thecriteria established in the previous sections, may take a final exam of the total subject, provided that the student has been evaluated from a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject. If you have not been evaluated by these two third parties because you have not taken the tests, you will obtain a score of Not Taken, without having the possibility of taking the final recovery exam.
This exam will consist of an evaluation test in which the set of contents of the subject will be reassessed. The grade obtained in this exam will be the grade for the subject that will consist of a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exam.
