Evaluation Methodology
The theoretical component is assessed through a written test, which accounts for 50% of the final grade.
The assessment of the practical laboratory component (PL), which accounts for 50% of the final grade, takes into account behaviour and work done in class (20%) and a final report of the work done in PL classes (30%).
Students who obtain a grade equal to or higher than 10 (in the sum of the two components) and a minimum of 10 in each of the components are dispensed from the exam.
Students who obtain a grade lower than 10 in the practical laboratory component are excluded from the exam.
For students admitted to the exam, the assessment methods and criteria remain the same.
