grade in each frequency is 10 values. The laboratory component consists of two moments of practical
assessment conducted during the classes, must be equal to or greater than 10. The final grade is
calculated from the following formula: CF = 0.50 T + 0.50 PL. The classification of all assessment
instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, and the weighted value of the marks obtained must be equal
or greater than 10.
