Eligibility for exams

Calculation formula of final grade

There will be three tests (dates announced at the beginning of term). The first two tests will run in TP classes or in special dates set up, room availability permiting. The third test will run at the date of the Época Normal.

The weight (P_i) of the grade of each test (T_i) in the final mark (NFteste) is proportional to the number of teaching weeks corresponding to the covered  topics:

• NFteste = sum (P_i * T_i) / sum (P_i)

Alternatively, the final grade will be the final exam grade, for those students that do not take the tests.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Only if requested by the juri.

Classification improvement

The improvement of the final mark can be accomplished by examination at Época de Recurso. The grade of improvement will be the exam grade.

Observations

Tutoring schedule:
The schedule for tutoring will be announced in Moodle and will be held at the instructor's office. However students need to declare their intention to show up by email with a minimum interval of 2 working days.
For students that cannot (because of superposition with other casses, e.g) attend at the announced schedule, exceptionaly a tutoring session can be schedule to replace (and not to add!) the normal schedule at a convenient time. In this scenario the student needs also to make an appointment by email and suggest alternative schedules.

1) the juri of the UC reservs the right to call students for an oral examination whenever deemed necessary.
2) tests  have a duration of up to 1h30, consisting of 1 up to 3 problems.
3) any situation not addressed in this Ficha will be analised and decided by the instructor responsible for the UC.  In particular any situation where the students wish to ask for a change, a clarification or an exception, among others, and that is not addressed by the regulations of FCUP or ather applicable, must do so in writing to the instructor responsible up to two weeks after the event that justifies such petition. If the instructor responsible so decides the request can be forwarded to be decided upon by the juri of the UC or the appropriate board or body of FCUP.
