4.3. Application of matrices to the resolution of systems of linear equations - Gauss elimination method
Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment:
The continuous assessment consists of four written tests classified from 0 to 5 values each. The student is passed by frequency if he obtains a grade of 10 or more, resulting from the sum of the 4 tests and, also, obtain a minimum of 3 values resulting from the sum of the first two tests and obtain a minimum of 3 values resulting from the sum of the last two tests.
Examination assessment:
Written test classified from 0 to 20 values. The student is approved if he obtains a classification higher or equal to 10 values.
