Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
Periodic assessment system, which implies two written tests (without consultation and a multiple choice system / resolution of questions). Each test has a weight of 50% in the calculation of the final grade of the normal season. Students with a final average of 9.5 or higher will be approved. Failure to perform one of the tests is equivalent to a score of 0 (on that test). In the final grade of the normal season, that is, in the average of both tests, the minimum grade criterion (6 points) is applicable. Any of the tests may be recovered at the appeal season, although at most one.
