Teaching Methods
The continuous assessment is done by the completion of two partial tests with equal weights. In the final evaluation regime, the student performs a single exam that covers the entire subject. The resulting mark is the mark of the theoretical part of the discipline (NT).
The mark of the practical part (NP) results from the evaluation of the reports and the performance in the laboratory.
The final mark (NF) results from the weighted average NF=0.7*NT+0.3*NP
