Evaluation Methodology
PL classes are compulsory.
The assessment has two components: practical component evaluated through reports and works related to the PL classes (40%) and theoretical component evaluated through mini-tests in class or written exam (60%). Anyone who does not score at least 9 points in the practical component is excluded from the examination.
Unless otherwise stated, following the evaluation of each case, the mark of the practical component is not kept from one year to the next. Those who wish to keep the grade of this component from the previous year should make that request at the beginning of the semester.
Approval is obtained with an average of at least 10 points, provided that the exam grade is 10 or higher.
