Assessment

FINAL CLASSIFICATION
The absence of students in assessments, when not duly justified, implies a negative weighting of the classification. The calculation of the classification presupposes the progression of the levels of requirement of the exercises, as well as the temporal perspective and the synthesis of learning. The final classification, considering attendance (P) and the student's overall achievement, will be the weighted average of the two classifications (Av1+Av2) predicted for the semester, and the classification of the graphic diary (DG).
Normal season (EN)
Final Grade = (0.05xP) + (0.70xAv) + (0.25xDG), whose minimum grade is 10 points.
Resource season (ER)
Final Grade = (0.4xEN) + (0.60xER), whose minimum grade is 10 points.
