Assessment comments |
The evaluation
of this subject will be done through continuous assessment and the
completion of a final exam, with access to the exam being subject
to participation in at least 80% of the compulsory teaching
activities (theoretical classes, seminars and tutorials). The
teacher will verify the attendance to the classes according to the
system of control officially established in the Center/University.Absences must be documented.Excused absences will count as attendance to teaching activities in order to attend the exam. |
