In accordance with RGAC, evaluation comprises two components: semester-based assessment and a final exam.
Semester-based assessment (Ao longo do semestre)
· Participation
- Speaking ..................................................... 25%
- Writing (portfolio) ......................................... 20%
· Oral presentation in group …………………...…........ 20%
· Written mid-semester test (open book) .................... 10%
Final exam (Prova escrita individual final, closed book) …... 25%
ALL STUDENTS MAY TAKE THE WRITTEN EXAM IN THE NORMAL (ÉPOCA NORMAL) AND REPEAT (ÉPOCA DE RECURSO) EXAM PERIODS.
Students with semester-based assessment
Students must have completed all the oral components to be elligible for semester-based assessment. 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 attended classes and do not have semester-based assessment may be evaluated by exam in the official exam periods (Normal & Recurso/Melhoria).
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 who have incomplete semester-based assessment but have completed both the 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.
Please consult the detailed information on the semester-based evaluation components available in the 'Evaluation notes' file in the section 'More' / 'Ver mais'.
