C1 | CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study |
C2 | CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study. |
C3 | CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature. |

Description | Qualification | ||
Laboratory practicals | Elaboration of the practical work and/or written test of the contents of the lab activities carried out. | 15% | |
Mixed tests | Written test of theory, applied theory and practical contents. | 85% | |
Other comments and second call | |||
In order to evaluate the practice work, a minimum mark may be required in the written test. Carrying out the practical work individually will be essential to be eligible for the evaluation process, both in the first and second calls. A minimum mark may be established in any or all sections of the evaluation (theory, applied theory, practical contents). |

Other comments | |
The implementation of the different activities in this teaching guide is subject to the existence of sufficient technical, material and human resources. Completing the practices in the laboratory/computer classroom and assignments is mandatory to pass the subject. The final grade of the subject may require obtaining a minimum grade in any of the parts that compose the evaluation. The elements that compose the evaluation can be sequenced throughout the course according to the different parts they consist of. In the second call, the score related to the practices in the computer laboratory/classroom and work carried out during the course will be kept. Many of the information sources are in English but there are parts in Spanish |
