If the student obtains a grade in said exam higher than the one obtained from the sum of the three aspects indicated above, the highest grade will always prevail. This final exam will consist of three or four questions of a theoretical-practical nature where the knowledge and assimilation of the theoretical concepts must be demonstrated, complementing the answers with the application of the practical aspects seen in the cases, readings and examples. As a guide, the theoretical part represents between 50% and 60% of the grade, and the practical part between 40% and 50% of the grade.
In the global test, the following will be assessed:
The degree to which the student has acquired the expected learning results, through his answers to the questions about the basic concepts of the subject worked on in class and content in the assigned readings, and the resolution of exercises and cases related to the contents of the course.
