MANDATORY in order to take the final exam, except for repeating students (detailed in point 3 of this section).

Final exam: 60 %

A minimum value of 5 in the final exam is necessary to be able to average the rest of the activities and obtain the final grade of the course. The content of the lectures, the case methods and the laboratory practices will be evaluated. The exams will be of type test, with 4 options of answer of which only one will be correct. Correct answers will count 1 point and mistakes will subtract 0.25. Some questions of another type (true/false, or short answer) could be included.

2) STUDENTS IN SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH CALL:

The same criteria will be applied as in the first call.

3) REPEATING STUDENTS:

The grade of the continuous evaluation of the previous course will be kept (includes the partial exam, laboratory practices and case methods). However, those who wish to do so may repeat the follow-up of the course and obtain a new grade.

General points regarding the evaluation system:

• The faculty reserves up to 10% of the grade to round up or down the final grade for subjective arguments such as involvement, participation, and/or respect for the basic rules.
• The delay in the deliveries requested by the teacher will be penalized in the final grade of the activity.
• In the awarding of Honor Grades, special consideration will be given to the participation and involvement in the different methodologies of the course, as well as the respect for the basic rules.
• Involvement and participation means: answering teacher's questions in class, discussing from a constructive point of view, and asking reasonable questions.

 General points about conduct and class attendance:

• Attendance at lectures is not mandatory, but regular attendance is recommended. Attendees must abide by the rules indicated by the professors. The expulsion of a student from the class will have a negative impact on the evaluation.
• The partial exam is compulsory. Failure to take the partial exam will result in a grade of 0 if there is no justified cause.
• Attendance to the laboratory practice class and case methods is mandatory and students must attend in the assigned groups. Failure to attend any of the two activities without a justified cause, or bad behavior, means the failure of the course.
• In case of not being able to attend the laboratory practices on the assigned day, the student may change groups with another classmate, previously informing the coordinator of the course, as long as there is a justified cause.
• In case of not attending the case methods class for justified causes, the student may present orally or in writing the resolution of a case formulated by the teacher.
• Justified cause is understood to mean: urgent visit to an emergency service (present a flyer with the day, time and place attended), serious illness (justifying the absence), 
• Justified cause is : urgent visit to an emergency service (present a flyer with the day, time and place attended), serious illness (justify hospital admission), death of a direct family member (first or second degree), court summons, or professional sports competition (provided that the student is federated and the Servei de Esports has all the documentation in order and approved). Non-urgent medical forms, extracts from previous appointments, driving tests or other family situations are not considered as justified causes.
• Improper use of electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets or laptops may result in expulsion from class. Misuse is understood as the recording and broadcasting of students or teachers during the different lessons, as well as the use of these devices for recreational and non-educational purposes.
