For those students that choose the continuous assesment track. Four tests: 10% the first, 15% the second, 15% the third, and 60% the fourth.

The first three tests will take place approximately in weeks 5, 9, and 14.  Results will be given within a reasonable time afterwards. These tests are not recoverable, that is to say, if a student  does not show up when they take place, the instructors
do not have the obligation to repeate them. In each test, the material covered from the start of the course until
the previous week (inclusive) will be evaluated. The fourth test will be a shorter version of the exam that students who do not choose the continuous assesment track will have to take.

For those students that do not choose the continuous assessment track. Final examination: 100%

Students will be graded as long as they take any test (either the short-answer tests, or the final exam). Students will be assumed to choose the continuous assesment track as soon as they take any two of the short-answer tests. Students taking at most one of the short answer tests and the final exam will be assumed to choose the final assesment track.

Students choosing the continuous assesment track and not passing the subject will receive the "fail" mark, whether they took the final exam or not.

The mark achieved in the first three short-answer tests will be kept for the second call, but not for subsequent years.

Regarding the second call, students in the continuous assessment track will be allowed to choose if they wish to keep the mark achieved in the short-answer tests, or if they want to be assessed only by the final exam.
