The course has a practical component which results from the execution of projects, to be delivered up to the due dates established in the course plan. The students are admitted to the final exam if they achieve 50% in each component of the project work. Success in the course also requires 40% in each intermediate written test.
Working students and students with similar status who are not required to participate in class must present the evolution of their work in the time periods defined with teachers. These students are also required to take the mini-tests, deliver their practical work and participate in the presentation sessions.
The final grade is computed using the formula: GRADE= 60% Projects + 40% Tests.
The Projects component is the result of the practical evaluation and can be obtained:
The project and its workplan must be validated by the course instructors.
None. All students have to complete the projects and present them as scheduled.
Distributed evaluation, performed during the semester, is required of all students, regardless of their enrolment status.
Improving the classification requires a new enrolment in the course, taking the course projects and tests again.
