Calculation formula of final grade
Assessment in "época normal" will be based on two face-to-face tests, worth 8 and 12 points and on 10 quizzes.
The first test will take 50 minutes and the last 70 minutes. The first test will be on a day indicated at the begining of classes and the second on the day of "exame da época normal".
The 10 quizzes are together worth 2 points (so 0.2 each) and it will be one per week during 10 weeks on computer using Moodle.
If T1 is the score of the first test, T2 the score of the second, Q the sum of the scores obtained in the 10 quizzes, a student will pass the course if
T1+T2+Q ≥ 9.5
and the final mark is
min{ T1+T2+Q , 20 }.
If for for some reason it won't be possible to do face to face writen tests during the semester, the two tests will be done on the day of the exam (also face to face).
Make-up exam:
Students who still need to pass: exam with two parts, each part corresponding to one of the tests:
- The student may choose to take any parts of the exam or use classifications of corresponding parts obtained in tests.
- If they choose to do a part of the exam, it will be the classification obtained there for the final grade.
- the final grade is computed as above.
Students
trying to improve their grade will have to write the whole exam (face to face) and they will not be allowed to use testes or quizzes.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Written or oral exam.
Classification improvement
Exam. These students will not be allowed to take part of
the continuous assessment of the course
