Examination Methods

The examination aims at verifying the comprehension of course contents and the capability to apply these contents in the resolution of some exercises.

Examination consists of a written test with three questions about the theory and three numerical exercises.
The total score that can be obtained from the questions about the theory is 12 points. The student must obtain at least 7 points int his part, otherwise the examination fails and the exercises are not evaluated.
The total score that can be obtained from the exercises is 21 points. The final score is the sum the points obtained from the questions and from the exercises. If the final score is less than 17 points, the examination fails. If it is equal to 17 points, the student must sustain an oral exam. If the final score is equal to or greater than 18 points, the exam is passed. If the exam is passed, the student may ask for an additional oral exam. The oral exam consists of at least three questions about the theory. The final score is given by the mean of the scores obtained in the written and oral exams.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
