In accordance with RGAC, evaluation comprises two components: semester-based assessment and a final exam.

Semester-based (Ao longo do semestre)

· Participation

- Listening ……………………………………………………… 10%

- Speaking ……………………………………………………… 10%

- Reading ………………………………………………………… 10%

- Writing (portfolio) ………………………………………… 10%

· Oral presentation in group …………………...…........…. 20%

· Written mini-test (mid semester and open book) .......... 15%

Final exam (Prova escrita individual final, closed book) …... 25%

Students who obtain a written mark of 17 or above in the final exam will be required to sit an oral exam if there is a difference of 3 marks or more between the written exam mark and oral component marks from the 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 who obtain a written mark of 10 or above in the final exam and for whom there is no oral component (semester-based) must sit an oral exam following the written exam. In this case, the final mark is an average of the written and oral exams.   Note: Continued absences will hinder progress and may 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'.
