Evaluation of the course's achievement level for each student takes into account practical work as well as the scientific and technical knowledge of the subject. The final grade reflects this by combining the grades from the practical and theoretical parts as follows:

(a) Theory test (1st exam) (25%)
(b) Theory test (2nd exam) (25%)
(c) Practical work (50%)

This course does not include the single assessment system.

To pass the course in the first sitting, it is mandatory to obtain at least a grade of 5 in the theoretical part (average of points (a) and (b)) and a 5 in the practical part (point (c)). The final grade will be calculated as the weighted average of the theoretical part (points (a) and (b)) and the practical part (point (c)).

In the second sitting, it is possible to retake any components (a), (b), or (c) with grades below 5. To successfully pass the course in the second sitting, the same criteria as the first sitting will apply. Additionally, it is important to note that the grade assigned to a retaken component will be capped at 5 (even if the final score is higher).

No Evaluation: The student's final grade will be "Not Submitted" if the student has not been evaluated in both written tests (a) and (b).

Honors: The awarding of an "Honors Distinction" (MH) is at the discretion of the course instructor. UAB regulations stipulate that an Honors Distinction can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9 or higher and that no more than 5% of the total enrolled students may receive this distinction.

Plagiarism: Without prejudice to other measures deemed appropriate and in accordance with current academic legislation, irregularities committed by a student during an assessment activity may result in a grade of 0. Assessment activities penalized in this manner cannot be retaken. If passing any of these assessment activities is required to pass the course, the student will fail the course without the possibility of retaking it in a second sitting within the same academic year. These irregularities include, but are not limited to:

• Copying, in whole or in part, a practical assignment, report, or any other assessment activity;

• Allowing others to copy your exercises/exam/work;

• Submitting a team assignment that was not entirely completed by the team members;

• Presenting materials produced by a third party as one's own, even if they are translations or adaptations, and generally any work containing non-original elements exclusive to the student;

• Using communication devices (such as mobile phones, smartwatches, tablets, etc.) during individual or team assessment activities.

If a student has committed irregularities in any assessment activity (and thus cannot pass the course, even in the second sitting), the final grade for the course will be the lower value between 3 and the weighted average of the grades. In summary: copying, allowing others to copy your work, or plagiarizing in any assessment activity results in a failing grade of 3 or lower.
