Evaluation Methodology
Assessment by class attendance: The evaluation by class attendance is composed by the accomplishment of practical laboratory assignments throughout the classes, plus a written test. The practical component has the minimum score of 10 points while the written component has the minimum grade of 9 points.
Assessment by exam: The evaluation by exam is composed of the score obtained in the practical laboratory work performed during the classes and a written test in any examination period. The practical component has the minimum score of 10 values while the written component has the minimum grade of 9 values.
The final mark in each evaluation is obtained by the simple arithmetic mean between the practical laboratory component and the corresponding written component.
