There will be two written exams throughout the course, each carrying a weight of 40 points. To evaluate these exams, a minimum score of 18/40 points must be achieved in each. If this minimum score is not reached, the corresponding grade for the exam will be zero points. Students who did not reach the minimum score in the first exam can retake it on the date of the second exam.

The remaining 20 points correspond to the evaluation of laboratory practices. Laboratory practices are part of the continuous assessment process, so their completion is not strictly mandatory.  If the laboratory practices are not completed, the score for that part will be zero points. In the final grade for the first assessment period, the laboratory grade will only be added if the minimum scores in the exam grades are achieved.

Assessment in the second assessment period: the weight of the laboratory grade is reduced to 10 points, with the global written exam in the second assessment period carrying a weight of 90 points. If a student did not complete the laboratory practices in the first assessment period, they will be evaluated on that part through an exam on the content of the laboratory practices.
