Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Evaluation:
15% - Mini-project / Game Jam (MP)

15% - Laboratories
30% - Test (T)
40% - Project - includes GDD, presentations, etc. (P)

The mini-project is available during the semester. Alternatively, students can participate in "Game Jam" style events and discuss the work done at these events.

In case of non-approval in the test, this component of the grade can be obtained by performing a written exam.

In case of non-approval in the project and/or mini-project, new topics will be defined before the end of the semester for delivery at the supplementary evaluation period.

The minimum grade in the Test and Exams is 8.0. In the other components, the minimum score is 9.5 values.
