Evaluation Methodology
Continuous Assessment
THEORETICAL CONTENT: 40% Theoretical exam.
PRACTICAL PROJECTS: 60% corresponds to the four projects (1st project equals 10%, 2nd project 15%, 3rd project 15%, and 4th project 20%). These are four individual practical prototyping exercises completed throughout the semester and must be accompanied by a descriptive report.
The grade is a weighted average of the scores obtained, considering a minimum of 10 points in each of the areas: Theoretical Content and Practical Projects.
Exemption from Exam: Weighted average equal to or greater than 10 (ten) points.
Students who do not attend at least two-thirds of the classes, who have not completed the assigned work, or who, upon completing the work, receive a grade lower than 10 (ten) points, will be excluded from the continuous assessment and exam.
Exam Assessment
Students who attend two-thirds (2/3) or more of the classes and have completed practical projects with a minimum grade of 10 will be admitted to the exam. Only theoretical content is subject to an exam, which consists of a written test.
Approval: final grade of ten (10) or more points, obtained using the weighted average indicated above.
