Assessment methods and Criteria
The final examination consists of a written exam and an oral discussion, to be given in the same session. It is not allowed to use notes, books or calculators, except differently stated. The students that passed positively the midterm exam have the right to skip the part of the exam concerning the first part of the course in the written exams of January and February, not the next sessions. In this case, they will have less time with resplect to those that have to do the total exam and the grade of the written exam will be proportional.
Important: the above modality of examination may be subject to changes due to the sanitary emergency. The changes will be communicated during the lessons and the information will be reported on Ariel.
