Less than 4 absences to tutorials.

Calculation formula of final grade

Evaluation is in a scale of 0-20.
Final individual written exam (FIWE), lasting a maximum of 3 hours with 3 parts:
Part 1: Theoretical part without consulting any document and without calculator machine;
Part 2: Practical part with consulting of one document and with calculator machine;
Part 3: Practical part with consulting of one document executed in a computer.
FINAL MARK = 0,3*P1+0,4*P2+0,3*P3

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Individual written exam similar in structure but with adapted subjects, as FIWE.
