Attendance Rules
Students can choose to attend the theoretical classes, and is highly recommended they do so every week as it correlates with a good outcome. Attendance will be recorded but there are no attendance requirements.
Grading Rules
Grading will be composed by tests and projects, in two components.
-
Theoretical Component: Relates to the contents lectured during all classes.
- Two tests (T1 and T2), each contributing with 5 points to the component.
- Each test will cover half of the contents lectured.
- T1 will be provided in November. Students may return T1 at this time or later in January.
- Final Theoretical Grade: (T1 + T2)
- Two tests (T1 and T2), each contributing with 5 points to the component.
