Photography: continuous assessment(10%) +  final project(15%)

Vídeo: final practical assignmen(17,5%) + reports/continuous assessment(7,5%)

 

Examinations or Special Assignments

None. The evaluation is continuous and there are no special works or exams.

 If students fail to provide an assessment element for one of the subject components (informatics, photography and video), they will not pass, even if the global average score of the assessment components available is more than 9.5.

 Given the project nature of the subject, all assignments in the technology, design and video components are mandatory.

 Enrolment in this course subject will not be allowed after the end of the third week of classes.
