In accordance with RGAC, evaluation comprises two components: semester-based assessment and a final exam.
Semester-based assessment (Ao longo do semestre)
· Participation
- Speaking ..................................................... 20%
- Writing (portfolio) ......................................... 20%
· Debate (in group) .............…………………..…........ 20%
· Written mid-semester test (open book) .................... 15%
Final exam (Prova escrita individual final, closed book) …... 25%
ALL STUDENTS MAY TAKE THE WRITTEN EXAM IN THE NORMAL (ÉPOCA NORMAL) AND THE REPEAT (ÉPOCA DE RECURSO) EXAM PERIODS.
Students with semester-based assessment
To be eligible for semester-based assessments students must have completed both oral components. Students who do not sit the final written exam will receive 'F' (falta) for their final mark irrespective of their results in the semester-based component.
Students with no semester-based assessment or incomplete semester-based assessment
Students who have not come to class and have no semester-based assessment may be evaluated in the Normal and Repeat exam periods (Épocas Normal e de Recurso).
Students who obtain a written mark of 10 or above in the final exam and for whom there is no semester-based assessment must do an oral exam a few days after the written exam. In this case, the final mark is computed as written exam 60% and oral exam 40%.
Students with incomplete semester-based assessment but who completed both oral components do not need to do an oral exam.
Note: Continued absences will hinder progress and will invalidate the semester-based mark of the student. Students who are unable to attend classes on a regular basis should inform the teacher as soon as possible.
Students should consult the detailed information on the semester-based evaluation components available in the 'Evaluation notes' file in the section 'More' / 'Ver mais'.
