Evaluation Methodology
Throughout the year, several mandatory works are performed (average T1), being excluded from the final examination those who do not do them (except in cases justified with strong arguments, accepted at the beginning of the semester). Anyone who wants to, can optionally do additional work (T2), to be delivered at the end of the semester, in which case the frequency score is the average of the two classifications (0.5T1 + 0.5T2). Anyone who has a frequency mark (T1 or average of T1 and T2, as the case may be) equal to or higher than 10 values is exempt from examination. In the examination period, the assessment is made through a written work (classification E), the final grade being the average of this classification and T1 (0.5T1 + 0.5E) or just E in the case of those who exceptionally were exempted from the works corresponding to T1.
