To pass the subject two basic requisites will be mandatory: (i) regular attendance to all the activities planned for the subject and (ii) get a minimum score on all (and each) activities (5 point out of 10). The objective test will consists of two parts containing theoretical questions and numerical exercises. Each of these two parts are evaluated sepparately. In any case, the laboratory classes must have been passed in order to pass the subject.

After finishing the first chapters, an objective test will be carried out (including theoretical questions and numerical exercises) so that the students passing it (score of 5, out of ten, in each part) may reduce the amount of chapters to be studied for the first examination (first opportunity, May-June).

Accordinly, all the scores must yield a minimum sum of 5 (out of 10).
However, note that the subject will not be aproved (even when the
overall sum exceeds 5) if a particular score does not reach 4. In
this case, the final score of the subject will be "fail" (score = 4).

The "Not
presented" score will be obtained in case the student makes less than
25% of the academic activities and it does not go to the exam. In any case, to pass the subject the student has to attend, and pass, the laboratory classes.

Note
that "continuous evaluation" means that the second opportunity of July
is a second opportunity for the exam (Mixed/subjective test). Following, the
scores of the laboratory classes, seminars, etc. obtained previously
will be maintained. The score of the new exam will substitute that from
the first opportunity.

For next courses, no score will be maintained and all activities will have to be repeated.

The
maxixum score (10, Matricula de Honor) will be obtained by pupils doing
the second exam (July) only if that score was not given in the first
exam (May-June), according to the Administrative requirements.
