Evaluation Methodology
Evaluation with two components: practical component evaluated through reports and works related to the PL classes (40%) and theoretical component evaluated through mini-tests in class or written exam (60%). Each component must have a minimum of 10 mark points. Examination is not required for those who, during the semester, have an average of 10 or more marks points in both components and those who do not have 10 marks points in the practical component are excluded from examination.
