Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment: consists of two components: one theoretical (C1) and one practical (C2) with a weight of 50% each. The theoretical component consists of a written test without any query element. The practical component includes two written tests (T1 and T2) and a paper (T3). For the practical component tests students may use as a reference element a handwritten A4 page. The classification obtained in the practical component results from the weighted average of the 3 evaluation elements according to C1 = 0.45 * T1 + 0.20 * T2 + 0.35 * T3.
All evaluation elements will be rated on a scale of 0 to 20 values.
Students waive exam if cumulatively:
