Calculation formula of final grade

Assessment of theoretical knowledge (2 written tests, minimum score: 7.0 points) - 40%
Assessment of practical knowledge (continuous assessment of practical work done in class, weekly reports of activity on the practical lessons submitted on Moodle) - 40%
Voluntary work - 10%
Attendance - 10%


In the case of the final grade obtained is higher than 16, it must be defended in oral examination; if the student does not attend, the final grade will be 16 values).

Students who do not get approval at the regular examination season, have one more chance for CU approval. This will Include a written test (50%) and an oral exam (50%), which will focus on theoretical and practical subjects taught at CU.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Optional (10% of final grade):
-Completion of research/review work in the form of a scientific paper, poster or presentation.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Theoretical 50% + Oral 50%
