Eligibility for exams

Students cannot miss more than 3 theoretical-practical classes and one study visit and have to do two bibliographic research reports (in 4 possible)  and one laboratory work and present the corresponding final report.
Students have to reach a minimum mark of 40% in ART and LAB components to complete the course.

Calculation formula of final grade

FM = 0,45ART + 0,4*LAB + 0,1*VE + 0,05*AS

All components will be assessed from 0 to 20.

FM - Final Mark.
ART - 3 best reports (in 4) on temes for bibiography research presented in scientific paper format.
LAB - Laboratory assignment (preparation, planning, execution of the laboratory assignments and preparation, presentation and discussion of the reports).
VE - Participation in study visits.
AS- Assiduity.

Comment 1: Students have to reach a minimum mark of 40% in ART and LAB components to complete the course.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable.

Internship work/project

Not applicable.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

 Students who have special frequency and statutes that do not fit in the evaluation procedures of regular students may replace the evaluation component corresponding to the reports on temes for bibiography research (ART) by an examination. However, should always carry out all stages of group work is assigned to them, during the lessons.

Classification improvement

Only be capable of improving the evaluation component corresponding to the reports on temes for bibiography research, which will be conducted by an examination (EXM), oral or written. In this case the final result will be determined by the formula: CF = 0.5 * EXM + 0.5 * LAB.
