The student can opt for a distributed assessment with final exam, if he doesn’t accomplish mini-tests T, being applied the same weight. To get the approval, the student should obtain a minimum mean of 10,0 in both theoretical and practical components.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final mark from 0 to 20 points = (average of all theoretical tests x 0,5) + (average of all practical work + continuous evaluation mark x 0,5) 
Minimum of 10 points must be achievd for approval.
A minimum of 10,0 points (in 20) is required in either theoretical and practical evaluation.

Examinations or Special Assignments

For the convenient planning of these tests students wishing to take advantage of special statutes in force, must inform the teachers of the respective practical class at the beginning of the semester. Attending students whose status allows for special attendance and / or assessment may have additional assessment tests. The type and number of tests will be determined individually depending on the missing assignments and will correspond to those performed by ordinary students. Non-ordinary students who complete all assessment times of ordinary students are exempt from tests and special assignments.

See Special Assessment

Those students whose statute allows them a special evaluation regime may be evaluated apart from the regular calendar and may have complementary evaluation. A minimum of 10 points must be achieved for approval. Although a minimum of 10 points (in 20) is required in either theoretical and practical evaluation. Final mark from 0 to 20 points = (theoretical test x 0,50) + (average of all practical work x 0,50)

Classification improvement
