Curricular Unit Teachers
António Luis Ferreira MarquesGrading Methods
Assessment exclusively by Final Exam, with grade bigger than 9.5 points
Alternative evaluation method
- Theoretical assessment of knowledge
- Normal and/or Recovery period exam, according to the Exam calendar
- Distributed evaluation - 2 tests in dates defined by course coordinator; if the student fails by this evaluation type, then he can only access to Recovery Exam
- Assessment by final exam ou distributed evaluation
- Practical assessment of knowledge
- Practical group or individual work, including performance and participation assessment
- Individual practical test (to be carried out in the middle of the semester)
- Individual final project (assignment available in the middle of the semester; deadline is the second to last
week; defense in the last week of classes or exam preparation week)
- Final grade (20 points) divided into:
- Theoretical component (12 points)
- Practical component (8 values) divided into:
- Individual/group work and performance/participation (3 points)
- Practical test (2 points)
- Final project (3 points)
- The student can use previous year note on this part
- For success, the following mandatory rules are considered cumulatively:
- Theoretical component ≥ 40% in 12 points
- Practical component ≥ 50% in 8 points
