Evaluation Methodology
The theoretical-practical classes are mandatory. The evaluation is done through a TP component (reports of the work done in TP classes) (40%) and a theoretical component (monograph to be done during the semester and subject to oral discussion or final exam) (60%). The exam is either exempted or approved when both components have a classification equal or superior to 10 out of 20. Those who do not score at least 10 out of 20 in the TP component, will be excluded from the final exam.
