EVALUATION CRITERIA.
To pass the subject, the student must have a final grade. 50 points on a
a total of 100. The assessment of the knowledge acquired by the student will be carried out
taking into account the following activities:

Completion of two midterm exams. The second midterm will coincide with the exam.
final. Those students who have passed 1erpartial will be able to choose to eliminate this
subject and take the final exam only of the 2nd partial. In this case, the final grade will be
the average grade of both partial exams as long as the 2nd partial has been passed. In
Otherwise, they will be able to raise their grade in the final exam, keeping the grade of 1.erpartial
in case it were greater. For extraordinary calls, they do not
they will retain grades from approved midterms in regular calls. The
midterm and final exams will consist of two sections; one dedicated to problem solving
of theoretical issues and another to numerical problems. Each of them will have a
maximum score of 50 points. To pass the subject, they have two
alternativas: a) calificación mínima de 25 puntos en cada una de las secciones; b)
minimum score of 20 points in theory and 40 in problems.
