Practical examination – 50%
Theoretical and practical works - 20%

A grade under 7.5 values (non-roundable) is not allowed in any of the parameters evaluated.

The classification of the parameter "theoretical and practical works" is calculated using a rule of three, considering 100% the submission of all the works required.

In the final assessement 10 values grade is required.

The practical teste will be performed in the last week of classes. The theoretical test date will be in accordance to the exams calendar.

Classification improvement

Students can apply for grade improvement in any item of evaluation. For the final classification will keep the weight factors set out above.
