Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The knowledge evaluation is for frequencies and the final result is the sum of the weighted marks obtained in the two (mandatory) frequencies.
Students who do not pass during the teaching-learning period can access the final exam (the exam grade replaces the grade obtained in the teaching and learning period)
Students can take an exam to improve the classification, using the best result.

FINAL Evaluation = Frequency 1 + Frequency 2
Attendance: 50%
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
