Eligibility for exams

According to General Evaluation Rules of FEUP, students cannot fail more than 25% of the TP exercise lectures.

Calculation formula of final grade

NF= Max [ (0,125*NT1+0.125*NT2+0.75*EFEN) ; EFER] , onde:
NF: Final Grade;
NT1: Grade of 1st test;
NT2: Grade of Second test;
EFEN: Grade of Final Exame (Normal season).
EFER: Grade of Final Exame (Second season).

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

A written exam (2 hours)

Classification improvement

According to General Evaluation Rules of FEUP (Secodn Season).

Observations

Distributed assessment will be based on two Moodle tests (with theoretical questions and exercises)
