Calculation formula of final grade
Regular evaluation season
Evaluation distributed in four tests:
- Three tests on the first three chapters, respectively, each of which quoted for 5 values, to be carried out during the class period and a fourth test on the last chapter, quoted for 5 values, to be held on the date set for the examination of the time normal.
- The final grade is the sum of the test scores, rounded to the unit, except in the case of scores higher than 18, which will require a written valuation test.
Second evaluation season:
Final exam with four parts:
- The student may choose to take any parts on the exam or use classifications of corresponding parts obtained in tests or previous exam.
- If they choose to take part in the exam, it will be the classification obtained there for the final grade.
- Students who have obtained a classification of 8 or more and less than 9,5 will have access to a complementary test to decide on their approval (with 10 values) or failure (with 8 or 9 values).
- Scores higher than 18 will require a written valuation test.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
The evaluation required under statutes or special conditions will consist of two components:
- component A: a written or oral test of 7 values where basic knowledge of the given program will be tested;
- component B: a written test of 13 values that will cover the whole of the given program.
For approval, the student will have to obtain the minimum classification of 3 values in component A, without which he will be disapproved for lack of component. Once the condition of obtaining the minimum classification in component A has been verified, the student will be admitted to component B and the final classification will be the sum of the classifications obtained in components A and B.
