Evaluation Methodology
Students who choose to take continuous assessment will be subject to two written tests. In the written test, obtaining a grade lower than 8 points determines immediate admission to the exam.
Obtaining a grade between 8 and 12 points in either test will allow for an oral exam, in which a presentation will be given before a jury.
If the student obtains a grade higher than 12 points in the continuous assessment tests, they are exempt from taking the final exam.
Students admitted to the exam take a written exam and are "Approved" if they obtain 12 points, thus being exempt from the oral exam.
In the resit period, the student is "Approved" if they obtain 10 points.
