Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

The student can choose an internship, a research work or a project. At the end, the student must deliver a report, based on the individual work he/she performed during the internship/project/dissertation, leading to the Master's Degree, which he/she presents orally and discusses publicly, before a jury. The final score is assigned by the jury, with minutes being drawn up. The annex to the minutes presents in detail the justification for the assessment, considering the following weights:
- 70% for the document (structure, bibliographic review, objectives and their implementation, application of knowledge, scientific/technical rigour, critical analysis, bibliography and presentation);
- 15% for the oral presentation (support material, clarity of exposition and scientific/technical rigour);
- 15% for oral discussion (security and ability to argue).
