Evaluation Methodology
Final Grade = PT (40%) + PP (60%) PP
PT = Theoretical Part, consists of a written test and can be taken at any time, frequency...
PP = Practical Part, consisting of practical performance (40%) and the Final Report (60%).
The Final Grade, PP and PT values must be equal to or greater than ten values.
