Students must attend, at least, 9 of the presented practical classes.
All students, who attended at least 9 of the presented practical classes, can perform the final theoretical exam, which will be worth 19 points, 95% of the final grade.
Throughout the semester, and in theoretical-practical classes, 5 mini-tests will be carried out. Taking the mini-tests will be optional, with no minimum number.
All scores obtained in the mini-tests, up to a maximum of 1 value for the set of five (0.2 for each one), will be added to the final exam classification, rated at 19 points. The minimum grade (exam grade plus the sum of the 5 mini-tests) for approval will be 9.5.
In order to guarantee equivalent conditions for carrying out the 5 mini-tests (1 value if with 100% success) for students with status, a theoretical-practical exam will be carried out, after the final theoretical exam, on the contents covered in the 5 mini-tests, also quoted for 1 value.
All students with status who have not taken 3 or more mini-tests will have this possibility.
Students with special needs should contact the teacher in order to arrange procedures for taking the exams.
In the Second Season of exams, and after enrollment in the Student Services.
