Assessment

The weight of the theory is 60% of the final mark while practical lessons provide the remaining 40%.

Activities 01 to 03 will be delivered individually, though they can be executed either individually or in a group. Activity 04 will be performed in a group.

The final mark will be the addition of the marks obtained in the evaluation activities 01 to 04, pondered by the specified percentages (see "Assessment activities" table). The course will be passed whenever the sum of scores, pondered by the percentages, yields a result of five or greater. Hence theory and practices do not have to be passed independently.

To access to the recuperation, it is compulsory to have delivered at least two of the four activities, provided that they would permit to access to at least the 60% of the course mark. If the delivered activities are lesser than two, the course will be considered as NON-EVALUABLE. The recovery of the theory will consist in a forty questions, multiple-choice test concerning the contents delivered. The recovery of the practices will consist in the delivery of the report previewed in activity 04.

It is not previewed that students who enrolled for a second or further time were evaluated by a single, no recoverable, synthesis test.
