Evaluation Methodology
Practical classes are compulsory.
Assessment comprises two components:
Practical component (40%), assessed through reports and assignments related to the practical classes.
Theoretical component (60%), assessed through two written tests during the semester or a final written examination.
Students are admitted to the examination provided they obtain a minimum mark of 9/20 in the practical component. Students are exempt from the examination if they achieve at least 9/20 in the practical component and an average mark of 10/20 or higher in the two tests.
To pass the course unit, students must obtain an overall average of at least 10/20, provided that the mark in the theoretical component is also 10/20 or higher.
Unless otherwise decided on a case-by-case basis, marks obtained in the practical component are not normally carried forward from one academic year to the next. Students wishing to retain a practical component mark obtained in a previous year must submit a request at the beginning of the semester.
