CF = 0.3 x AE1 + 0.3 x AE2 + 0.4 x TG
CF - Final Grade (minimum CF of 9.5 points)
AE1 - first individual Written Assessment Test, to be carried out during classes, in the middle of the semester
AE2 - second individual Written Assessment Test, to be carried out during classes, at the end of the semester

* The continuous assessment method requires:
• A minimum attendance of 70% in classes.
• A minimum grade of 7 points (out of 20) in all assessment moments.
• The completion of assignments, their respective presentation and defense.
• Group projects are presented and defended in class, and the presence of all group members is required.

Or

Evaluation Exclusively by Exam
The exclusive assessment by examination is done in the form of an individual written test, worth 20 points, with a maximum duration of three hours.
Students who are not required to attend classes according to the Academic Regulations, and who have not successfully completed continuous assessment, may opt for an assessment based solely on a written exam.
Students who choose this type of assessment must justify their choice in advance.

Students who obtain a grade higher than 16 in any of the assessment periods must take an oral exam to defend their grade.
Exams suspected of fraud may be subject to an oral examination.

Rules to be observed for taking the written assessment:
During written exams, the use of non-basic calculators, cell phones, so-called smartwatches, glasses with integrated electronic devices, or any other equipment with memory or that allows communication with the outside of the room (e.g., Smart Watches) is expressly prohibited. Students must ensure that they hand over all prohibited devices to the teacher before the start of the exam.
During written exams, only a basic calculator without memory is allowed. During written exams, consultation of a formula sheet provided by the teacher is permitted.
After the start of the Written Assessment Exams, any exit from the room implies the submission of the exam or withdrawal. In case of withdrawal, the student must mark on the exam that they wish to withdraw and may only leave the room at least half an hour after the start of the exam.
It is mandatory that the ears are visible (for example, they cannot be covered by accessories, clothing, or hair).
The following items are permitted on the table: the exam paper, the answer sheet, the scratch paper provided by the teacher, writing materials (a pencil, a pen, an eraser), a bottle of water, a small snack (chocolate or biscuits), a ruler, a basic calculator (without memory), and your IDENTIFICATION document. The presence of any other object or document on the table will result in the immediate annulment of the exam.
The mere finding of a violation of the aforementioned rules implies the immediate annulment of the written exam, with consequent notification to a higher authority for disciplinary proceedings for fraud, as well as the non-assignment of a grade to the Course Unit, in accordance with Article 31-A of the Academic Regulations for the 1st Cycle of Studies at IPC, published in Order No. 9859/2022, of August 9th.
