Assessment comments

To be evaluated, it is essential to take tests on theory (mixed test), laboratory practices, and ICT practices.

To pass the course, the score must be 5 or higher, provided that the mean score of the practice tests (laboratory and ICT) and the score of the mixed objective/subjective test is >4 . If the sum of the score of all activities is higher than 5, but the above requirements are not met, the final score will be 4.9 (failing score).

The grade of Non Attendance(NP) will be applied to the students that do no attend the official exam.

Honors will be preferably awarded among students with a score of 9 or higher in the January opportunity.

There will be a midterm exam and, in case of achieving a grade higher than 4, it will not have to be repeated in the January and July opportunities.


On the second opportunity (July), you may choose to: (A) adopt the evaluation criteria of the first opportunity (specified in the EVALUATION section); or (B) take the tests corresponding to theory (mixed test), laboratory practice sessions, and ICT, with the mixed test representing 65% of the total grade. The choice of option B must be informed 10 days before the exam date.

In the case of students with part-time dedication and exemption from attendance, additional measures may be adopted so that the subject can be passed. These measures may include flexibility in the hours of practices, or grading through a global assessment test of learning outcomes.

Students who request the early December call will be able to choose between the application of the current teaching guide or that of the previous year.

Fraudulent realization of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the qualification of "0" in the corresponding opportunity.
