Assessment comments |
A) CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: By default, students will be assessed under the continuous assessment methodology. In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points out of 10 (final mark) and a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in the final exam. For students whose mark in the final exam is lower than 4 points, the final mark will be that of continuous assessment. B) NON-CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: Students may opt for a Global Assessment in which they will be assessed by means of a final exam that allows them to 100% of the maximum mark (global assessment). If you choose the latter option, to be assessed only by the final exam, you must communicate this in writing to the teachers of the subject in the period from 11 September to 11 October. C) SECOND OPTION AND FINAL EXAM: Final exam which will be worth 100% of the mark. |
