Obtenção de frequência
Continuous assessment consists of - 2 tests and nine laboratory assignments. Assessment can also take the form of a final exam on all the material taught.
Tests on partial content will have a weighting of 70 per cent in the final classification, and students may not have an average mark of less than 9.5.
Laboratory reports (in groups) on materials testing, with a weight of 30 per cent in the final grade.
The final mark for continuous assessment is obtained as follows:
Final mark = 70% average mark (Test 35% + Test 35%) + 30% Laboratory mark.
Final exam with a weight of 100 per cent. Students may not score less than 9.5 marks.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
NF = 0.7xT + 0.3xL
where:
NF - final grade
T - test average
L : report average
undelivered items count as zero in the calculation
Provas e trabalhos especiais
Working Students, Federated Athletes, Student's Unions Leaders and Students under the Law of Religious Freedom must contact the professor until the end of the second week to present their relevant specificities, as provided for in the respective diplomas.
