To pass the subject is a prerequisite to obtain a minimum of 4.5 in the final semester exam.
After obtaining this minimum score, the following evaluation criterion is applied: 70% of the final grade is obtained from the final exam.
The remaining 30% depends on ongoing assessment that takes into account classroom attendance, participation, case studies, and attendance at continuing education conferences.
There will be a voluntary partial examination of the first 9 subjects/units. If the student obtains a minimum score of 5.5, these first 9 units will be released from the final exam.
Thus, the "final exam" grade that computes 70% will be calculated as follows:
- Whoever attends the final exam on the entire subject (either because he did not attend the partial exam or because he did not get the minimum 5.5 score), will get a note/grade that will serve for the overall assessment. Remember it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 4.5
- Whoever passed the partial exam (with minimum score of 5.5), will only seat for the remaining units, and the "final exam" note will be the result of adding the score obtained in the partial exam and the score obtained in the final exam, and divide it by two. In this case the score in the last exam performed must also be a minimum of 4.5
The continuous evaluation will not be taken into account in the July call.
