Calculation formula of final grade

The evaluation of this course unit can be done in two tests or in a final exam:

Test 1 (Required) - To be held on the week of 2-6 November.

Test 2 - Test about the program not covered by Test 1, to be done by students who have a classification above 8 (in 20) in Test 1. Test 2 will take place at the same date and location of the final exam (normal season).

The final classification (CF) is calculated by:

CF = (NT1 + NT2) / 2

NT1 and NT2 are the classifications of Tests 1 and 2, respectively (range 0-20).

If the classification obtained in Test 1 is less than 8 (in 20), instead of Test 2 the student will do a final exam (at the regular season), which will cover all the topics taught. In this case the final mark will be the classification obtained in the exam.

Students with marks obtained in Test 1 above 8 (in 20) are given the option to do the final exam instead of the normal Test 2, covering all the topics taught in the discipline. In this case the final mark will be that obtained in the exam.

The exam of the special season covers the full program taught on the discipline.
