Assessment methodologies and evidences

Distributed evaluation with final exam.

Final Grade = (Test average or Exam) x 0.6 + Meas. x 0.2 + Labor.Pr. x 0.2
c / (Test average> = 10 and Tests> = 9) or Exam> = 10; Avg. Lab.> = 9

In the written tests (Tests and Exams), in the practical part, it is allowed to use a "form" / "memory aid" of 1 p.A5, handwritten by the student, original, delivered at the end of the exam.

Even those who can not dismiss the exam can (and should) carry out the tests, with the aim of studying the subject and seeing how this study is working.

Laboratory test reports are delivered at the end of class. During the examination period, it is possible to recover up to 2 tests (if they have been absent for reasons that are reasonable), if approval is required.

All components of the evaluation are subject to oral (eg Laboratory, Note> 15).
