Calculation formula of final grade

a) DISTRIBUTED ASSESSMENT: Exam (75%) + Individual assignment (25%)

- the exam must be taken at época normal. Those who miss that exam, or do not hand it in, must take the final exam at época de recurso, in which case the mark obtained in the assignment will not be considered.
- the minimum mark in the exam and in the assignment is 8/20. A mark below in any of these implies a fail, regardless of the global average mark obtained.

b) FINAL EXAM (in época de recurso only): 100%.
