The evaluation consists on participation in class (PC) and on an individual written assessment (IA). The student must have at least 9,5 in each of the evaluation components. PC has a value of 20% and IA has a value of 80%.
The final classification (FC) is calculated as follows:
FC = PCx0,2 + IAx0,8
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
The worker students are nor dismissed of any of the evaluation assessments.
Classification improvement
The improvement of the classification can be obtained through the reformulation of the works.
