Eligibility for exams

Do not exceed the maximum number of faults equal to 25% of the classes provided, allowing that number amounts to 50%, since excessive absences is substantiated by a medical report confirming incapacity for regular participation in class.

Are exempted from verification of the conditions of attendance as provided by law workers and students athletes integrated in high-competition legislation. The students, who by law are exempted from attendance in the classroom, need to introduce at the beginning of the school year with their teachers, the set of tests or special assignments, to demonstrate the mastery of matter and the skills required in this form course.

Students who are exempt from the actual practice of the classes may be asked to perform tasks to demonstrate mastery of subject matter expertise and skills required in this form of course.

Note: the justification of absences is through the presentation by the student of a request addressed to the Pedagogical Council, which is attached to the relevant medical report within 5 working days after the first foul. The ruling will be delivered to him, leaving the student to present it to teachers in the areas which have been endorsed faults.

Calculation formula of final grade

Practical component (75%) - water polo (37.5%) and synchronized swimming (37.5%)
Theoretical (25%) - written test swimming rules (7.5%) and written test overall (17.5%)
Minimum score on each item - 8 points
Minimum grade final - 8 points

Examinations or Special Assignments

The student, if less than the minimum that allows it to approval, be entitled to conduct a second evaluation, and in cases prescribed by law, including workers and students for completion of the course, the possibility of a third evaluation, the course until the last day of the semester, which includes the period for the examinations of normal times and appeal, which took place during the teaching.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Recovery test of the theoretical components (written test, and final test regulations) and practical assessment (synchronized swimming, and Water polo) to be held at the time of application and until the end of the semester in which the discipline was taught.

Classification improvement

Students can apply for grade improvement in any item of evaluation. This test could be performed by students that were not evaluated in the regular data by health, injury, cirgury, campus frequency or others related too. The teachers of the discipline will analise the opportunity of each request and will decide about if the evaluation will be perform. If the students perform the test, the obtained classification its the final, independently of being inferior to the one obtained in the anterior evaluation. For the final classification calculation the weight factors set out above will be keep.


Notas:
1) The students that were not evaluated in the regular date only could perform its evaluation when recovery testes will happen. Only cases preview in law, namely working students ou for conclusion of studies cicles, could perform a second evaluation in a special date.

2) The students that do not approve in the disciplinary area, in the sequent year will be evaluated in all the components and in the same date as the other students. It will be allowed, for the students who had frequency in the last year, if they need (namely if superposition with other disciplines will happen), to not to be present in a minimum of classes.

Observations

The final classification will be rounded to tenths.
