The final mark is obtained taking into consideration the assessement of a test to be done after the presentation of the program of the course and of the final exam.
The test allows to waive the exam as long as the mark obtained in the test is equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
In the case that the student also carries out the exam, the final mark is the major classification obtained in the test and the exam.
