Eligibility for exams

Students can not miss more than 1/4 of the scheduled classes - 14. Thus, they can not have more than 4 absences to the classes TPs

The final grade of the TP classes must be equal to or greater than 9.5 points.

Calculation formula of final grade

FINAL MARK= (0.70 x Exam) + (0.30 x TP classes)
In all assessments rounding to tenths is considered

 EVALUATION EXAMINATION:
1 - Intermediate test + final exam (normal periode): The intermediate test will be done during the month of November.
If the student has a mark of 7.0 or higher, he may be excused from taking the final exam on the normal evaluation period, of the part of the subject matter of the intermediate test. In this case, the examination will be on the matter not covered by the intermediate test. The grade of the exam cannot be less than 7.0 values.

The final evaluation will be: (intermediate grade + exam grade on the normal evaluation) / 2 In none of the evaluations the grade may be less than 7,0 values.

If the student obtains in the normal evaluation period a grade inferior to 7.0 values, he will have to carry out a new evaluation in the time of appeal. In this case, he will have to make the evaluation on all the subject taught, leaving the intermediate test score without any effect on the final classification.

EVALUATION EXAMINATION:
2 - Final exam (normal or appeal period): If the student has a score lower than 7 in the intermediate test he will have to take the final exam in the normal evaluation period or in the appeal period on all the subject taught. The intermediate test grade will have no effect on the final classification. For the student to get approved the examination grade on normal evaluation period or appeal period must be equal to or higher than 7.0 values.

Assessment THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES: 30% of the final grade of the UC: minimum grade of 9.5 values.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Worker Students:

With attendance to TP classes = ordinary students. The final grade is calculated in the same way as ordinary students

Without attendance to TP classes : final exam or intermediate test + final exam. In this case the final marck of the UC corresponds to the exam grade or intermediate test + exam

Classification improvement

Final exam.
