Evaluation
| Learning outcome |
Assessment activity |
Weight (%) | It allows test resit |
Minimum required grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 | Theoretical-practical exams. It includes contents from the individual or group labs. | 48% | Yes | 5 |
| R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 | As registered by the lecturer. | 7% | Yes | |
| R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 | Lab submission under the requirements by the lecturer. | 30% | Yes | |
| R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 | Lab submission under the requirements by the lecturer and, potentially, written exam on their contents. | 15% | Yes |
If the student did not get the minimum grade to weigh in any of the activities, the grade of the subject would be 4.9 out of 10 at most (fail).
