Eligibility for exams

Students should attend at least 75% of the classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification corresponds to the weighted mean of the following components:

1. Group work (40%)
2. Final test (60%).

The grades will be presented on a scale from 0 to 20 values.

To be successful, students must obtain at least 8 out of 20 in each of the components.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

When the student's status allows him/her not to attend classes (TE, AAC...), the student can take advantage of that right in relation to the face-to-face participation in classes. However, the student must take the group work or equivalente (see the calculation of the final grade). The student must therefore contact the teacher in the first week of the semester.

Classification improvement

Only applicable to the "final test".
