Eligibility for exams

Group work with a minimum grade of 9.5.
Final exam with a minimum grade of 9.5.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final grade = 0.5 * TG + 0.5 * Exam

TG = Group work.
Work in groups of 4 elements. Each work consists of a written component and a presentation component. It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 9.5
for exam readability.

The work will have an intermediate oral presentation with a weight of 15% in the final grade.
Grades within the same group may be different, as 15% of the total grade will be attributed to hetero-assessment (5%) and performance in the oral presentation (10%).

Exam - It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 9.5.
