Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The assessment of student learning consists of an oral examination which will include a series of questions related to the topics discussed during the entire course as well as the tests carried out in the laboratory.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
The student, in the course of the oral examination, must demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical and experimental concepts presented during the course and lectures of laboratory . It must also demonstrate to have understood the physical principles behind them, and also he must be able to analyze the different types of optical systems studied during the course.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The degree of learning will be measured by assessing the level of theoretical and practical knowledge of the student and his ability to qualitative and quantitative analysis of the topics discussed during the course.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
For each one of the questions discussed during the oral test is assigned a score between zero and thirty. The overall grade, thirty, is the average of the marks obtained, with rounding to the entire excess
