For those students that opt for continuous evaluation:

- Final Exam: 50%

- Several short tests: 30% (approximately in weeks 5, 9 and 14). Results will be announced within a reasonable time. If a student does not show up, the nstructors have no obligation to reschedule the test for him/her. Each short test will cover the material from the beginning of the semester to the previous week.

- Project: 20%

For those students that do not opt for continuous evaluation:

- Final Exam: 100%

Any student showing at any of the tests (short tests or final exam) will be assigned a grade. Any student showing at any of

the short tests will be graded under the continuous evaluation format. The grade of any student that only shows at the final

exam will be the grade of the final exam.

The student may opt out of the continuous evaluation after the second short test, communicating his/her choice to the

instructors within a deadline. Students that choose the continuous evaluation format at that point and do not pass the

course will be assigned the grade "fail" regardless of any potential no-shows.

The short tests grades will be kept for the second call, if the case, but they will not be kept for future years. In the second

call, students will be allowed to opt out of the continuous evaluation format.
