-Attendance to the practices and the delivery of the Report, are essential requirements to pass the subject



-To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a grade of no less than 4.5 out of 10 in the mixed test and to achieve, adding the grades of all the activities, a minimum grade of 5.0.



-If the minimum grade in the final mixed test has not been reached, the subject will appear as failed, even if the average of the grades obtained in the different methodologies is higher than 5 (out of a maximum of 10), in which case the final grade awarded will be from 4.5.



-The registration qualification is granted preferably at the first opportunity.



-In the second opportunity, the mixed test will be repeated and the qualification of the other activities will be maintained.



-The qualification of not presented will be granted to those who do not appear for the mixed test and for the laboratory practice.

-Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption who cannot attend the seminars, may be assigned different works/problems throughout the course to be exposed during tutoring hours.
