Calculation formula of final grade

1 - New students

CF = EF + AD

CF (0 - 20) – Final Classification
EF (0 - 17) – Final Exam
AD (0 – 3 valores) –evaluation in practical courses by solving three multiple choice quiz questions.

Examinations or Special Assignments

There is not any Special works.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Final exam.
