Eligibility for exams

For UC approval, a minimum score of 10 is required in the two components of TEJ II-AV (Radio and TV).

Compulsory presence in 75% of classes, except in cases provided for in general law and FLUP regulations.

The evaluation of the UC, in Radio and TV, is distributed without a final exam. Approval results from two evaluation components: practical work (50%) and final work (50%). A minimum score of 10 is required in each of the assessment forms, both in Radio and TV.

Radio: Continuous assessment includes practical assignments (during the semester the teacher indicates which ones are mandatory, i.e. failure to do so implies failure in that assessment component) which correspond to 50% of the final grade, the final assignment corresponds to the remaining 50%.

Failure to pass one of these components or failure due to absences sends the student to the appeal period.

This evaluation formula applies to all students, including students with special status or student workers.

Student workers must arrange the assessment at the beginning of the semester with each of the teachers (Radio and TV).

Erasmus students must arrange the assessment at the beginning of the semester with each of the teachers (Radio and TV).

Calculation formula of final grade

Distributed assessment without final exam
Radio: Continuous evaluation 50% and final work 50%
TV: Continuous evaluation 50% and final work 50%

Examinations or Special Assignments

Faillure to attend, in the foreseen cases, in 75% of the classes requires oral discussion of the presented evaluation elements. In each specific case, the evaluation must be established at the beginning of the semester with the respective professors.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

As provided in the FLUP Assessment Regulations. In each specific case, the evaluation must be established at the beginning of the semester with the respective professors.

Classification improvement

In Rádio, continuous evaluation assignments are not subject to grade improvement or delivery after the date set by the teacher. Grade improvement is only done in the Appeal Exam. Continuous assessment assignments are valid for the current academic year.
