Eligibility for exams

Minumum grade of 40% in all evaluation components.

At least 75% of presences in the class.

The frequency of previous years does not apply to current year.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final grade = 0,5*practical assignments+0,2*theoretical assignments+0,3*exam

The practical component encompasses developing a project in groups. There will be two points of assessment, each contributng 50% for the final grade.

Assessment point 1: 27MAR14

Assessment point 1: 5JUN14

 

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Working students, and others with similar frequency status, must undertake the proposed practical assignment. They must integrate the working groups and be present in the classes where presentations and evaluations are planned.

Classification improvement

It is only possible to improve the exam. The other assessment components can be improved in the next edition of the UC.
