Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Eligibility for exams

Attendance of at least 75% of the classes predicted.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final grade is calculated taking into account the following parameters:
1. Attendance - 10%
2. Two theoretical tests - 90%
The no-presence in 1 or two tests, or classification below 9 values in each test, imply disapproval. The student must attend at the time of appeal.
All ratings above 16 have to be "defended" in the oral test, otherwise the student is graded 16 points.
