Calculation formula of final grade

Hypothesis 1 - Scientific Paper (75%) + Written evaluation (25%)
Hypothesis 2 - Scientific Poster (50%) + Written evaluation (25%)
Hypothesis 3 - Written evaluation (100%)

The final grade obtained will be classified in a scale of 0-18 points (90%) being the remaining 2 points (10%) attributed to attendance.

The minimum score to be obtained in each of the different methods of evaluation values ​​is 9.0, with a final average of any of the hypotheses listed above greater than 9.5 points.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Scientific Paper: may be carried out by 3 doctoral students (maximum). It should be the result of a research work related to Dental Informatics, suitable to be published in a Journal concerned with Dentistry or Medical/Dentall Informatics.

The article must meet the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals", the bibliography should be performed in Endnote ®, formatted according to the Vancouver Guidelines.

Scientific Poster: may be conducted by 3 doctoral students (maximum). It should be the result of a preliminary investigation, not yet able to be prepared in the form of a scientific article.
