Eligibility for exams
Obtain more than 1,00 over 4,5 in the evaluation that occurs in the practical classes.
Calculation formula of final grade
1 - New students
CF = EF + AD
CF (0 - 20) – Final Classification
EF (0 - 17) – Final Exam
AD (0 – 3 valores) –evaluation in practical courses by solving three multiple choice quiz questions.
Examinations or Special Assignments
