Eligibility for exams

Classes are subject to verification of attendance.
Safeguarding the special cases covered in the law, students who miss more than 25% of the classes planned not get frequency at course unit (according to Regulation Assessment of students FPCEUP - Article 9A, point 2.).

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification results from the grade obtained in the following evaluation components:

a) Final exam (50%);
b) Group work (50%).

To obtain approval at the course, the student must:

1) obtain a minimum final classification of 8 points in each of the evaluation components; and,

2) obtain a minimum final classification of 10 points (point 2, Art. 4 of the General Regulation for the student’s evaluation of FPCEUP).ork (50%).

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students who by law are exempted from verification of the conditions of attendance to classes, and that they can not actually attend classes, should perform the two assessment components previously defined. For this, they should contact at the BEGINNING of the semester (NEVER after 2^nd class) the professor.

Classification improvement

• It is possible to improve the exam classification once, in one of the two periods subsequent to that in which the student obtained approval and in which the curricular unit has an exam predicted. (Article 10, point 1.a) of the General Regulation for the evaluation of UP students).

• In these situations the classification obtained in the "group work" component remains valid.

• The final classification is the highest, between the one that had been obtained initially and the one that results from the improvement of classification made. (Article 10, point 3 of the General Regulation for the evaluation of UP students).
