CONTINIOUS EVALUATION

The continuous evaluation consist in 2 partial exams and a workshop. If the average mark of the 2 exams is higher than 5, the student will pass this section. The student must have a minimum mark of 4 out off 10 in each partial exam. The evaluation of the partial exams count for 85% of the calcification of the continious evaluation of this subject.



Appart from the partial exams, the student may also do a workshop which will be collected too. The evaluation of this work count for 15% of the calcification of the continious evaluation of this subject.



FINAL EXAM

Apart from the continuous evaluation, the student can pass the subject by passing a final exam that takes place in the end of the academic semester.



RESIGNATION TO THE SUBJECT

Not doing the pratical tasks and not attending the final exam, will mean the resignation to the final evaluation. The resignation will be recorded as "Not Presented".



FAB LAB



For the development of the practical exercises of this subject (workshop), the student may use the laboratories of the School
