2. In order to integrate the continuous assessment the students have to fulfill the following criteria:
Presence in 2/3 (two thirds) of the classes taught, and have performed the requested practical exercises with a evaluation equal or superior to 10 (ten) values.
3. Students who obtain a grade of 10 or more in the theoretical assessment (section 1.3) and in the practical assignments (section 1.2) will be exempt from final evaluation (exam).
4. Students who do not meet the conditions described in point 2 will be excluded from evaluation.
The student-workers must combine with the teacher, at the beginning of the semester, the methodology to be adopted in the work to be done, otherwise they lose the right to attend the U.C ..
