Eligibility for exams
The students must have the minimum of 9.5 points in 20 at the global classification of the discipline. The evaluation will include 2 written tests, each one valuing 35% and done at the middle and end of semester, in a day to be communicated at the beginning of the year. In each test the students must obtain a minimum of 8 point in 20. If they are absent or don’t reach 8 points at the 1st test, they can’t go to the 2nd test and must go to a final written exam. If they are absent or don’t reach 8 points at the 2nd test, they must go to a final written exam, which represents 70%.
The remaining 30% of the classification correspond to the individual written discussion in the Moodle Forum/chat, where don’t is necessary a minimum classification. However, the absence of Forum discussion implies to lose this classification.
The presence in class is mandatory according to the regulation in force in FPCEUP.
Calculation formula of final grade
The final classification is the sum of the following tasks:
- 30% for individual written participation in the Moodle Forum/chat
- 70% for written tests, each one valuing 35% or 70% written final exam, if the student didn’t accomplish test conditions.
Examinations or Special Assignments

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Students with special statute can choose and decide if they want to do a written and individual work that substitutes the Forum/chat written discussion. They must inform the teacher until one month after class beginning, according information presented at Moodle platform.
Classification improvement

It is possible to improve the classification once, until the 2nd exam period during the year following the previous year where the student was approved and where the curricular unit has an exam scheduled.
