Eligibility for exams

• Minimum grade: 10 points in the test and in each practical exercise. The non-achievement of the minimum grade in any of the evaluation moments leads to a classification of ‘Excluded’.

• In order to get curriculum unit frequency, students may not exceed the maximum number of absences allowed by FCUP regulation. If that happens, they will obtain a classification of ‘Excluded’.

• The study visit is mandatory. The visit report will be included in the same dossier of the practical exercises, which will be indicated by the professors.

Calculation formula of final grade

individual and group practical exercises - 60% and test - 40%.
