To pass the subject two basic requisites will be mandatory: (i) 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 test will consists of two parts containing theoretical questions and numerical exercises. Each of these two parts are evaluated separately.
After finishing the first chapters, an optional objective test will be carried out (one including theoretical questions and the other with 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).
Accordingly, 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.
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, with the same criteria.
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.
Students being recognized officially as partial-time and entitled not to attend the lectures will be evaluated considering only the scores obtained in the objective tests (75%) and the laboratory practices (25%). This applies to both opportunities
