Eligibility for exams

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Calculation formula of final grade

Theoretical Evaluation (T)
It is made through an examination consisting of multiple choice questions with five or more points. The student points out all the points with V or F. Each point marked wrongly discounts the value of 2 points out of a correct one. This examination will be priced 0 to 20 values.

Evaluation Theory and Practice (TP)
Assigned by the teacher in charge according to the evaluation of work undertaken by the student (written work + oral + continuous assessment). The course grade is 0 to 20.

Endnote
The note is obtained using the following formula:
Theoretical evaluation (45%) + Theory-Practice Evaluation (45%) + Attendance (10%)

The final grade is assessed according to the rules prevailing in the general FMDUP
assessment. Approval for the discipline is effected with a minimum score of 9 values in the theoretical evaluation and with a minimum score of 9 values in evaluation theory and practice.

Defence and proofreading

After completion of each test theoretical-practical and theoretical, will be available the final grade achieved by each student. Students wishing to contest the exam should do so on the date and time indicated by the faculty.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Students whose status allows the system frequency and / or special assessment may request additional assessment.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students whose status permits the system of special assessment may request an assessment outside the normal schedule, and safeguarded the assessment components.

Classification improvement

To achieve a grade improvement is mandatory to perform an exam with the disciplines T and TP components, keeping the same evaluation criteria applied at the time of appeal.
