Two conditions: 1- Not to exceed the absence limit established to the practical classes. 2- Grade obtained on the group assignment, with a minimum of 40%.
CLASSIFICATION = 0.70 x (Grade obtained on the group assignment) + 0,30 x (result of the Exam)
• Exam focusing on the material taught in the lectures and general aspects of the project.
Identical to the evaluation procedure established to the ordinary students.
•The students can only improve only the result of the exam. The Grade obtained on the group assignment can be improved attendindg the course again.
• It is applied the general formula to calculate the final grade.
• Copies of the slides of lectures that are provided to students, cover most of the material taught.
• It is planned to visit the MV/LV Substation of FEUP.
• It is planned a practice session especially dedicated to the accomplishment of works and demonstrations.
