Grading Methods

Continuous evaluation:

The course is organized into two parts, with the following assessment tools:

Final classification = 0.5 x PART 1 classification + 0.5 x PART 2 classification

. Module 1 (50%) – Literature review;

. Module 2 (50%) - Projects work on management systems and audits in real environments.

According to the regulations in force, in order for a student to be approved in continuous assessment, it is necessary, simultaneously, to: obtain a minimum classification of 7.5 values ​​in each of the parts; obtain final classification, rounded to units, equal to or greater than 10 values.
