Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Continuous assessment formula:

- 2 evaluation tests (30%+30%) = 60%

- Project: group work concerning a technical topic related to the course = 40% (20% Essay+ 20% Presentation using PowerPoint, Padlet or Wakelet)

Final mark= T1 (30%) +T2 (30%) +Proj.(40%)

Important observations:

1- The Project must be written and discussed within the continuous assessment period. Therefore, project submission won't be allowed during the exam period.

2-The mark of each element (each test and project) is rounded to the decimal digit, while the overall assessment will be rounded to the nearest unit.

Exam formula:

In the final exam, the project will count 40% and the written exam will count 60% of the overall evaluation process.

Final mark=  Exam(60%)+ Project (40%)
