Assessment System

% end-of-term-examination 0
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 100

Calendar of Continuous assessment

- Continuous assessment: 100%.
o First midterm exam (30%, if passed the content will be removed for the final exam).
o Second midterm exam (30%, if passed the content will be removed for the final exam)   
o Final practical project: 30%.
o Class participation: 10%.

- Final exam:
o 0%: if the student follows the continuous assessment, this exam will be taken only with the part(s) not passed in the midterm(s).
o 100%: if the student has not followed the continuous assessment, he/she will take the final exam with all the content (including content of the lab sessions) and the final mark will be worth 60% of the mark obtained.

- Extraordinary exam: 100% with all the content (including content of the lab sessions).
