Evaluation method

1 – Frequency

is assigned to students who have attended at least two thirds of the lessons taught.

2 - Evaluations

Only students who have frequency, special or are working students  can participate in the evaluations.

Evaluations are done through continuous evaluation and examination of Appeal.

2.1 Continuous evaluation

consist in three elements of T1, T2 and T3.

Each element consist in the resolution of a list of exercises outside the classroom, and an oral presentation of a part of the theoretical matter, previously established by the teacher.

Each element  (T1, T2, T3) has the classification of  20 points.

Classification of continuous evaluation is achieved by making the arithmetic average of the marks obtained in T1, T2 and T3.

If the classification of continuous evaluation is greater than or equal to 9.5, the student is approved with  this classification rounded to unities. if the  classification of continuous  is less than or equal to 9.4, the student may be referred to the Appeal.

2.2 - Examination of Appeal

They may be the examination of Appeal all students enrolled in the course who have obtained frequency or have a special status. If the test classification is greater than or equal to 9.5, the student is approved for this classification rounded unities. If the test classification is less than  9.4, the student is not approved.
