Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Eligibility for exams

Frequency
Three reports made during the six months of evaluation and a practice exam.
But the average these notes may not be inferior to 7.5 values

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Evaluation

Theorical Evaluation

They are conducted two tests (T1, T2) on dates marked, at the beginning of the semester, the conductor with the approval of the students. The arithmetic average of these two tests written note is the theorical note (T1+T2/ 2= T).

Practice Assessment

The classification practice is obtained through the arithmetic mean of the three practical works (TrP1 + TrP2 + TrP3) / 3= TrP undertaken in half a more practical note obtained in the practical test (TP) on two. P= (TrP+TP)/2

Final Classification
The final classification is obtained by summing twice the theoretical evaluation to the pratical evaluation on three .
Final= (2 x T + P)/3
