Evaluation Methodology
Unless special cases, properly justified, the theoretical-practical classes are compulsory.
The assessment is made through a TP component (exercises performed in TP classes or out of class) (50 %) and a T component (literature review article, on a subject of the student's choice, to be delivered during the examination periods and subsequent oral discussion) (50 %). Approval is granted when both components have a grade equal to or higher than 10/20 points, and those who do not have a minimum of 10/20 points in the TP component are excluded from the examination.
In special cases, properly justified, the assessment is made only through the theoretical component, and a minimum score of 10/20 marks is required in this component for approval.
