Components of the distributed laboratory evaluation:
a) Evaluation during laboratory classes on ophthalmic preparations, parenteral preparations and modified release tablets.
During each of these classes, questions will be asked to the members of each group about the fundamentals of the work to be done.
At the end of each class, each group must submit the PREPARATION FORM of each of the works carried out, well presented and with sufficient information to make the lot traceable.
b) Carry out a work drawn from among the work done in the laboratory classes.
Each student will be assigned a classification for the work done. To be approved in the laboratory evaluation, students will have to obtain in this component a classification equal or superior to 9.5 values.
Students not approved in the laboratory evaluation will not be able to take the theoretical exam.
Students who do not have approval in the laboratory component, will only be able to have a second opportunity of laboratory evaluation in the period of normal of exams.
Distributed laboratory evaluation
The final laboratory classification results from the weighted average of the components of the laboratory assessment a) (questions) and b) (work drawn) corresponding respectively to 15% and 20% of the total value of the final classification.
The students that in the distributed laboratory evaluation have a classification inferior to 9,5 values will be able to carry out laboratory exam in the period of normal exams.
Theoretical evaluation
The final theoretical exam is constituted by a written test that focuses on all the material taught in theoretical classes. This examination will take place on the dates set by the Pedagogical Council for the period of exams.
Students will be required to have a classification higher or equal to 9.5 values on the theoretical exam to pass.
Final classification
Relative weight of the laboratory evaluation in the final classification - 35%
Relative weight of theoretical assessment in the final classification - 65%
Grade improvement
If the student wishes to improve the grade, he/she must take the final written exam at the time of appeal, abdicating the classification obtained in the two frequencies.
If the student wish, he/she can also improve the laboratory evaluation (abdicating the classification obtained in the distributed laboratory evaluation), and must notify the responsible teachers. In this case, the final grade is the weighted average of the scores obtained in these two new tests.
During the COVID pandemic, the procedure to obtain Eligibility for exams is the following:
The laboratorial classes will be divided in two groups: group A and group B.
Each group will participate in 5 laboratorial and presencial classes (1 for the explanation of the works to be performed and 4 classes for the execution of the works) and 4 classes by computer.
During the laboratorial classes, the students will prepare ophtalmic and parenteral formulations.
During the classes by computer, the studenst will perform a formulation study concerning a modofied release formulation.
Estimated number of theoretical classes per student – 26
Estimated number of laboratory classes per student - 9
To become eligible, the student must participate in at least 3/4 of the expected number of laboratory classes (maximum number of missing classe = 2). In addition, the student must have corresponded to the laboratory assessment set out below.
1-LABORATORY EVALUATION
Components of the distributed laboratory evaluation:
a) Evaluation during laboratory classes on ophtalmic and parenteral preparations.
During each one of these classes, questions will be asked to all the members of the group concerning the rationale of the work to be done. These questions will be the basis of a qualitative information of the student.
b) Preparation of a formulation randomly drawn from the works performed during the laboartorial classes.
Each student will be assigned a classification equal or superior to 9.5 points.
The students that are not approved (classification less than 9.5 points) in the laboratory evaluation will not be able to be present in the theoretical exam.
The laboratorial classification can be influenced, negatively or positively, by the qualitative information described in point a).
The students that are not approved in the laboratorial component will only be able to have a second opportunity of laboartory evaluation in the normal period of exams.
c) Trabalho executado nas aulas à distância
O trabalho desenvolvido pelos estudantes nas 4 aulas à distância será apresentado por ZOOM e será objecto de classificação.
2-THEORETICAL EVALUATION
The final written exam will be held on the date set by the Pedagogic Council during the examination period. Students who have a classification equal or higher than 9.5 are approved. Students who obtain a score less than 9.5 are not approved.
During the COVID pandemic, the Evaluation method is the following:
EVALUATION METHOD
The evaluation method of the course follows the Students Specific Evaluation Rules (READ) FFUP.
The calculation of the final classification follows the procedure set out in "Frequency acquisition".
Distributed laboratory evaluation
The final laboratory classification results from the weighted average of the components of the laboratory assessment a) (laboratorial work randomly performed) and b) (modified release formulation study) corresponding respectively to 20% and 15% of the total value of the final classification.
The students that in the distributed laboratory evaluation have a classification inferior to 9,5 points will be able to carry out laboratory exam in the period of normal exams.
Theoretical evaluation
The final theoretical exam is constituted by a written test that focuses on all the material taught in theoretical classes. This examination will take place on the dates set by the Pedagogic Council for the period of exams.
Students will be required to have a classification higher or equal to 9.5 points on the theoretical exam to pass.
Final classification
Relative weight of the laboratory evaluation in the final classification - 35%
Relative weight of theoretical assessment in the final classification - 65%

If the student wish, he/she can also improve the laboratory evaluation (abdicating the classification obtained in the distributed laboratory evaluation), and must notify the responsible teachers. In this case, the final grade is the weighted average of the scores obtained in these two new tests.
