Evaluation rules
The following modes of assessment for the curriculum component may be used:
1. Assessment only with a finaltest or paper.
2. Distributed evaluation without final exam or paper. In subjects with this method of assessment, there will be throughout the academic year, for example, laboratory work, mini-tests, tests, individual or group seminars, to be awarded classification with which to construct the final classification.
3. Distributed evaluation with compulsory examination or final paper. In subjects with this method of assessment, there will be an evaluation component similar to the preceding point and an evaluation component with the final exam.
4. Distributed evaluation with the possibility of exemption from examination or final paper.
The Dissertation comprises a public discussion before a Jury, in accordance with law.
