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 Exam: Relates to the contents lectured during all classes. + The use of AI tools is forbidden.
-
Practical Assignments:
- Development of practical projects individually or by a group of 2-3 students, contributing to 50% of the final grade.
- The use of AI tools is allowed according to what is specified in each assignment.
The following table summarizes the points of each component:
| Item | Points (over 20) |
|---|---|
| Group Assignment 1 - CVE Brief | 1 |
| Individual Assignment 2 - Midterm Challenges | 3 |
| Group Assignment 3 - Research Project | 6 |
| Exam | 10 |
The final grade is capped at 20 points. Bonus points awarded inside an assignment can raise the grade of that item, but they never raise the final course grade above 20.
