Obtenção de frequência

Student evaluation occurs during the semester continuously materializing in two tests (T) and two lab works (L).
Both T and L count 50% on the final grade.
In order to achieved approval, the intermediate grades of the student have to comply with the following rules.
The final grade in the average of T and the average of L cannot be less than 9.5 (in 20).
The grade in each lab in L cannot be less than 9.5 (in 20).
The grade in each test in T cannot be less than 8.0 (in 20).
Students not satisfying one of this criteria will miss approval at this season (aka epoch), and have to rely to the next season (aka appeal epoch).
The requirements for getting approval in the appeal season are the same.

Alternatively to the method presented to the last paragraph, students can attempt approval by attending to a maximum of two exams (E), one in each season (normal and appeal).
The minimum grade in each exam in E is 9.5 (in 20).
The L component is mandatory in this case and identical to the previous one.
Components E and L count each 50% to the final grade.
