Evaluation Methodology
The continuous assessment consists of two written tests. The first is rated from 0 to 6.5 values and the second is rated from 0 to 13.5 values. The student is passed by frequency if he obtains a grade of 10 or more, resulting from the sum of the two tests.
Exam assessment: Written test classified from 0 to 20 values. The student is approved if he obtains a classification higher or equal to 10 values.
For any of the evaluations, if the student obtains a classification of 15 or higher, he should be subject to an extraordinary assessment.
