First Chance Assessment

Each student must actively attend 80% of the theoretical and practical sessions. All practices must be delivered in a timely manner to be eligible for evaluation at the first opportunity. The objective is to encourage continuous monitoring of the subject through weekly collective or individual feedback.

Academic dispensation (class attendance exemption)

Those students who have an academic exemption must contact the professor to establish the method of monitoring the subject and the preparation of works to pass the subject in the first call.

Second chance evaluation

The student who has not passed the subject in the first opportunity or the student who does not comply with 80% of attendance, must attend the second opportunity call.. The student will be evaluated through a face-to-face graphic-theoretical test.

Academic fraud

Fraudulent performance of tests or assessment activities will directly imply a grade of 0 (FAIL) in the subject in the corresponding call, invalidating the rest of the grades obtained.
