Eligibility for exams

To be admitted to exams, students cannot miss more classes than allowed by the rules. Besides, an attendance register will be kept

To be admitted to exams, students have to reach a minimum grade of 10 (out of 20) in the continuous assessment component.

Students who obtained frequency in the previous edition of the course unit, may opt for the previous mark, but they should inform the professor at the beginning of the semester.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final mark will be calculated as follows:

Final mark = 0.5*Exam + 0.5*Continuous Assessment

Continuous Assessment = 0.25*A1 + 0.25*A2 + 0.50*A3
