To obtain attendance students may not exceed the maximum number of missed classes, complying with school attendance rules. (attendance registration will be done in every class).
Students will be evaluated by two assessment tests (T1, T2), and a "participation" (P) component, involving several homework problems, attendance and general class intervention.
They must also attend a final exam. being:
The final score after the first call will be calculated as follows:
NE1 =0.45*(0.10 * P + 0.45 * T1+ 0.45 * T2) +0.55*NE
Being: NE1 – Final grade after the first call; T1, T2 – intermediate tests.; P - Participation in class; NE – 1st call Exam grade.
Students who fail the 1st call exam can undertake a 2nd call exam. The grade after the 2nd call is the highest value obtained by weighting together the exam and the distributed evaluation grades or just the 2nd call exam.
NER = max( 0.45*(0.10 * P + 0.45 * T1+ 0.45 * T2) + 0.55*NR ; NR)
where: NER – Final grade after 2nd call; NR – 2nd call exam grade;
Grades over 18/20 will be subject to an oral discussion.
Students with special status may choose between the normal evaluation mode or "evaluation with final exam", but choice must be comunicated to teachers at the course start.
Special global examination, simultaneous with 2nd call.
