Eligibility for exams
Class attendance is compulsory. It loses the frequency those who miss more than 1/4 of the classes planned.
Calculation formula of final grade
Practical note (40%) - The practical note (P) corresponds to the performance related to the presentation and discussion of problems as well as participation in class discussions
Theoretical component (60%)
The score of the theoretical component (T) is calculated as the mean obtained in the T1 and T2 evaluation tests or in the E1 and E2 parts of the exam, with the best of marks between T1 and E1 being counted and the best of marks between T2 and E2 .
T = 0.50x (E1 or T1) + 0.50x (E2 or T2)
Final grade = 0.40 x P + 0.60 x T
Conditions for approval in the discipline: T ≥ 8.5 and P ≥ 9.5 and Final grade ≥ 9.5
For final grades greater than 18 values it may be necessary to perform a complementary oral test
Students with an approved worker status, who can not attend the minimum number of classes, can solve a set of problems, and later presentation and discussion, to be proposed by the regent. The grade of this work (P) will represent the same percentage (40%) of the final grade. Alternatively, they may opt for 100% of the T grade.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Students with special status who disregard them from class attendance can do written work on a topic proposed by the teacher as an alternative to attendance and participation in the classes (40% of the final grade)Classification improvement
