1.2. The second assessment moment (final assessment) will take place at the end of the second semester, in which the following is assessed: the presentation and analysis of production results and the individual technical report of each student.
2Assessment by exam (normal season, appeal season, special season):

2.2. Presentation and analysis of production results and delivery of individual technical reports.
Continuous and exam assessments apply to Student Workers.
