Obtenção de frequência

Obtaining attendance at the UC is done by carrying out all the assessment elements listed below.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

50% - Project (2 phases)
25% - Written test
25% - Continuous assessment (development methodology - version control, documentation, GDD, presentations, etc.)

Minimum score of 8 values in all components (scale from 0 to 20).



In case of non-approval in the test, this component of the grade may be obtained by taking the written exam.

Continuous assessment can be replaced with 1 assignments and discussion in case of non-approval.

In case of non-approval in the project, there is an additional recovery submission date by the supplementary evaluation period. In this case, a new theme for the project is required.

Melhoria de classificação

The improvement of components related to the project can be done by delivering a new Game Design Document and implementing the project at the supplementary evaluation period.

The improvement of the regular period test or exam evaluation can be done at the supplementary evaluation period.
