Evaluation:

Students may choose a continuous assessment process or a final exam consisting of written and oral evaluations.
1. Continuous assessment
Students who chose continuous assessment, must meet the following requirements:
a) carrying out a portfolio in a group on one of the themes presented in class;
b) carrying out a frequency on the material taught in lectures and problem-solving, in each one in which students can not get a grade lower than 9.5. If that happens, the students will be sent for final exam.
Score = Portfolio group x frequency + 30% x 70% 2. If you choose to do a final exam, students must obtain at least 7.5 points to gain access to the oral test. The final grade is the arithmetic mean of the classification in written and oral tests.
