Eligibility for exams
According to the General Regulation of the University of Porto Learners Assessment is considered a student fulfills the attendance to a course if, having been regularly enrolled, does not exceed the number limit faults corresponding to 25% of the foreseen classes, as regulated in the existing organizational unit.
Calculation formula of final grade
Final classification = classification on a final exam in which 80% (16 values) corresponde to the theoretical or theoritical-practical part and 20% (4 values) correspond to the practical classes.
