Evaluation process:
Alternative 1 - Continuous Assessment
For each student, the final score results from the arithmetic average of the marks obtained in a set of three small group works (50%) and a final test (written individually, without consultation) (50%), about all the subjects taught in the unit.
Obtaining a grade of less than seven figures in the set of group works automatically implies the transition to the single examination.
Alternative 2 - Single Exam
The final score of each student results, directly and exclusively, from the ratings of a written test (individual, without consultation) about all the subjects taught, to be held at the time of examinations.
