During the course continuous evaluation exercises and case studies will be performed and the students will be asked to do a presentation integrating computational and experimental knowledge.
Failure to attend or delivery any of the evaluation exercises will result in a zero for the corresponding part of the total mark.
The subject will only be qualified as "No presentat" when the student has not attended any of the avaluation exercises or has only attended the first exercise (see the specific criteria for the qualification of "No presentat").
The minimum pass mark will be 5.0 out of 10.
Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
The subject will only be qualified as "No presentat" when the student has not attended any of the avaluation exercises or has only attended the first exercise.
Avaluació única:
Students who take the single assessment ("Avaluació única") will have as their only assessment activity an exam which will consist of applied questions and problems from the whole syllabus. The minimum mark of this exam to pass the subject must be 5.0 out of 10.
Requisits mínims per aprovar:
A minimum grade of 5.0 out of 10 must be obtained to pass the subject.
