Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment: composed of two components: theoretical (C1) and practical (C2) with a weight of 50% each. The theoretical component consists of a written test without any element of consultation.
The practical component includes two written tests (T1 and T2). For tests of the practical component, students will not be able to use any elements of the consultation. The classification obtained in the practical component results from the arithmetic average of the 2 written tests, with no minimum grade in any of the tests. C1 = 0.5 * T1 + 0.5 * T2.
All the elements of evaluation will be classified on a scale of 0 to 20 values.
Students waive the exam if cumulatively:
Obtain a minimum grade of eight in the theoretical component,
Get a minimum score of eight in the practical component,
The final grade (CF = 0.5C1 + 0.5C2), rounded to the nearest whole number, is greater than or equal to 10 points.
Exam in Normal Season and Improvement and Examination of Appeal and Improvement: Conducted without any element of consultation, with two aspects: a theoretical one (minimum score of eight values) and another practical one (minimum note of eight values), with a weighting of 50% and 50% respectively.
