Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The evaluation will be periodic.
There is a minimum score of 5.5 values for the student to be admitted to the exam.
They will carry out 2 written face-to-face tests (T1, T2).
The quotation for the various tests will be:
First test (T1): 10 values.
Second test (T2): 10 values.
The teaching-learning (CEA) classification will be:
CEA = T1 + T2
The final classification (CF) will be:
CF = Not allowed if CEA < 5.4
CF = E if 5.5 <= CEA <9.4
CF = CEA if CEA >= 9.5
being E the exam classification.
If fraudulent practice is detected in taking the tests, the student will be Not Admitted to the Exam.
The only exceptions to the application of the assessment criteria apply to Student-Workers and Military Students with respect to attendance. These students are exempt from compliance with the attendance criteria, being able to attend classes according to their availability.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
