ATTENTION: The attendance to UC is subject to registration through the
moodle platform, regardless of the season in which it takes place or the regime to which the student is subject.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
Continuous AssessmentThe access to continuous assessment requires student statement on the Moodle platform and an attendance >= 70% to class activities
Knowledge assessment consists of:
- Autonomous Work (i.e. Regular Exercises) performed in Class (TA)
- Research Project in Group (TG) or Individual (TI)
- Final Theoretical Test (TF)
The Final Classification in Continuous Assessment (
CFAC) will be obtained:
CFAC: 20% (TA) + 40% (TG/TI) + 40% (TF)
There is approval in UC when
CFAC is equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
The wording and respective rules of the
TG/TI will be posted on the Moodle platform and the activities of Autonomous Work
(TA) will be carried out in accordance with the rules to be posted on that platform, with no minimum grade requirements for these activities.
Final Assessment by ExamThere are three exam evaluation periods: Normal, Appeal and Special.
The assessment rules are the same for all the Final evaluation periods.
Knowledge assessment consists of:
- Elaboration, presentation, and discussion of an Individual Project(TI)
- Theoretical Exam (E)
The Final Classification in the Normal Season (
CF) will be given by:
CF = EN*0,50 + TIN*0,50
If the grade of the
E and/or
TI are less than 9.5/20, the student will have to carry out the corresponding evaluation element in the following Final Evaluation Period.
If the student has opted for continuous assessment and has been successful in the TG, the classification of that work is automatically carried over to the Final Exam.
If the student does not intend that the classification obtained in the TG transits, he must inform the teacher in writing of his intention until one week before the date of the exam.
Special Season
For this period, there is no classification obtained previously.
Knowledge assessment consists of:
- Elaboration, presentation and discussion of a new Individual Project(TIEE))
- Theoretical Exam (EEE)
The Final Classification in Special Season (
CFEE) will be given by:
CFEE = EEE*0,5 + TIEE*0,5
The approval is subject to the minimum score of 9.5/20 in
EEE and
TIEE.
Melhoria de classificação
In order to improve the classification in an academic year after the approval in the UC, no classification obtained previously is carried over.
Knowledge assessment consists of:
- Elaboration, presentation and discussion of a new Individual Project(TI))
- Theoretical Exam (E)
The Final Classification in Special Season (
CF) will be given by:
CF = E*0,5 + TI*0,5
The approval is subject to the minimum score of 9.5/20 in
E and
TI.
