Teaching Methods
The assessment is carried out by means of an examination and by submitting all 6 reports on the laboratory work carried out, being:
NF: Final Mark
NT: Exam Mark
NL1: Mark of Lab-1
NL2: Mark of Lab-2
NL3: Mark of Lab-3
NL4: Mark of Lab-4
NL5: Mark of Lab-5
NL6: Mark of Lab-6
NL: (NL1+NL2+NL3+NL4+NL5+NL6)/6
NF=0.7*NT+0.3*NL
Assessment
The assessment is based on 2 parts: Theoretical (50%) and Laboratorial (50%)
Assessment elements are graded using the interval [0,20].
The theoretical part has minimum grade 10
- [Ex1] Final Exam 1 (50%)
- [Ex2] Final Exam 2 (50%)
The Laboratorial part has minimum grade 10
- [L] Laboratory (50%)
[NF] Final Grade: NF = Max{Ex1; Ex 2}×0.5 + L×0.5
If NF>= 9.5: Approved
If NF< 9.5: Failed
