ASSESSMENT RULES

 

The assessment comprises two components:

• Two group projects, which account for 60% of the total grade.
• An individual written examination, which accounts for 40% of the total grade.

Final classification: Weighted average of all the components.

The grades range from 0 to 20. To obtain approval, the weighted average of all assessment components must be greater than or equal to 9.5, with a minimum grade of 6 for each component.

Students with a final grade of 9 may be required to take an oral examination for approval. In this case, the maximum final grade will be 9.5.
