In the Normal Season, the assessment includes two tests (with a weight of 40% each), with a minimum grade of 8/20, with the aim of assessing theoretical and theoretical-practical knowledge; and one assignment (weight of 20%), to be carried out during the semester, with the aim of consolidating and evaluating the knowledge on the subjects taught. In the Resource and Special Seasons, the assessment is carried out based on a written exam, which will correspond to 100% of the final classification.
