The student must choose between two alternative, mutually exclusive assessment method: continuous assessment or

global assessment.

The continuous evaluation option consists in a final written exam (40% of the qualification), the completion of programming

assignments (30% of the qualification) and homework (30%). The global assessment option consists in a final written exam (40% of the

qualification) and in the completion of assignments (two, 30% of the qualification each one). The assignments will be due the last working

day preceding the start of the examination period. The examinations of the continuous and the eventual assessment options

may not be equal.

The students can declare their preferred assessment type until the date of the written examination.

The students who fail the course will be given an extraordinary opportunity at the end of the academic year to do so. Their academic

achievements will be re-evaluated, both with a written exam (theoretical knowledge) and a review of their engineering

project looking for improvement or changes. The weights are the same they were committed to, according to their choice.

Any assigned grade will only be valid during the academic year where it is awarded.
