ADDIOTIONAL INFORMATION:

In order to average a minimum mark of 5 out of 10 is required on the written test and in the
other assessment methods. If a final mark of 5 points in each section is not obtained and it
is only passed one of them, the subject will be failed although the weighted average will be
equal to or greater than 5. The weighted average is also subjected to the presentation of all
the work requested.

Work delivery types will be individual and group. The percentage of evaluation of this
assessment method is broken down into 30% for individual deliveries and 10% for group
work delivery. The minimum mark in both types of work should be at least 5 points.

The written test represents 50% of the final mark. This test will consist on short questions
(30%), problems (10%) and a practical exam of ODV (10%) software. The minimum mark
on each section shall be at least 5 points to carry out the weighted average and to pass the
written test.

The oral presentation should be delivered to teacher previously, on the date specified, for
approval.
