Calculation formula of final grade
Attendance at work and persistence, technical, inventive and cultural demonstrated by each student, and capabilities of self-criticism and criticism. In the case of one course open to students from three different years, is considered the situation of each student, not only as individual case, but also with reference to the experiences and levels of learning evident and traceable. The importance of each of the different factors listed above, varies in each case. Of course, this is an evaluative activity which is not devoid of subjective elements. However, in the final evaluation will be accountable the following items:
Attendance - 15%
Participation / motivation - 10%
Critical sense - 10%
Project Option -
Research and reasons - 5%
