Assessment comments

LABORATORY PRACTICES are compulsory. Absence from practicals must be duly justified in order to pass the course.

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

To pass the subject a 5 must be achieved and have >4,5 in the mixed tests and an average qualification in the practical >4,5 (laboratory and ICT). If the qualification resulting from the sum of all the assessable activities is equal to or higher than 5, but the indicated requirements are not met, the qualification would be 4.0 (fail).

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 4,5 it will not have to be repeated in the January and July opportunities.

On the second opportunity (July), students 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 80% of the total grade. If the student chooses option B, he/she must inform the teacher responsible for the subject 10 days before the exam. 

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 date of submission of essays, flexibility in the hours of practices, or grading through a global assessment test of learning outcomes.

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