Evaluation Methodology
Unless special cases, duly 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 frequency period or examination periods) (50 %). There is exemption from examination (frequency) or approval (exams) when both components have a mark of 10 or more points.
In special cases, duly justified, the assessment is made only through the theoretical component, and a minimum score of 10 marks is required in this component to be exempted from exam or for approval.
