Assessment
Continuous assessment. The final grade will be obtained from the partial marks along with the participation / attendance (10%). Class
attendance is mandatory (60% minimum).
To pass the course you must take a minimum of 4 in each exam and a minimum of 5 in the final grade. Those who do not reach 5 will be
able to do a recovery exam where they will have to examine only the failed topics. The recovery exam is designed for not-passed students,
not to upload grades.
To be eligible for the retake process, the student should have been previously evaluated in a set of activities equaling at least two thirds
of the final score of the course or module. Thus, the student will be graded as "No Avaluable" if theweighting of all conducted evaluation
activities is less than 67% of the final score.
Student’s assessment may experience some modifications depending on the restrictions to face-to-face activities enforced by health authorities.
