Practices and theory must be passed separately; once both parts are passed, the subject´s final grade is obtained this way:
Final = 50% theory + 50% practices
In order to pass the practices it is necessary to hand in the practices required before the deadlines. With all the practices handed in correctly, the practices grade will be:
Practices = 10% P1 + 25% P2 + 25% P3 + 40% P4
For the theory, each subject´s term must be passed separately (>5). The grade for each term is obtained as following:
Semester_note = 30% CE + 70% Half-yearly exam
The grade for the CE is obtained from the midterm exam and two more grades of works required along the semester.
If the student doesn´t follow the CE, the term´s final grade will be directly the grade of the exam.
If the student does follow the CE, the final grade will be the higher grade between the half-yearly exam grade and the average grade acquired from the EC and the exam. In this case the average will be done form a 3.5 in the exam
