The total of these practical activities represents 30 percent of the final grade. To pass this part, the student will have to obtain at least 15 percent of the final grade calculated out of 10 and it will be maintained during the two exams.
2 Final written test, which will consist of a theoretical-practical exam, to be held at the end of the semester. This test will have a weight on the final grade of 70 percent. To pass the subject, the student must obtain at least 40 percent of the final grade () out of 10.
Students who do not obtain in this final written test a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 points will not pass the subject. Only on the basis of this score will the evaluation of the activities developed during the term be weighted.
II. Simple system , based exclusively on a global final test that will have two parts:
a) the performance of the same final written test, which will consist of a theoretical-practical examination, to which students who have opted for the summative assessment systemwill be submitted.
b) the completion of an additional written theoretical exam consisting of answering a questionnaire of open and short questions that will correspond to the contents of the subject syllabus.
The value of the practical exam will be 30 percent of the final grade and the theoretical test will have a value of 70 percent of the final grade . In order to pass the subject, at least 50 percent of the sum of both tests must be obtained.
Notwithstanding the above, students will not pass the course if they do not achieve a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 points in the total of the final test of the summative assessment system, as well as a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 points in the additional written theoretical examination that is contemplated in point b) of this section.
