-Class participation (10%): evaluates attendance, including compulsory attendance at 75% of classes, involvement and individual contributions of students in discussions and practical activities.
-Group work (40%): Students are organised into groups of up to 5 elements, constituted at random, with support from the teacher. Group activities involve developing cases/exercises in class, applying the methods and content learnt. The work is presented and discussed in the penultimate class.
-Individual written test (50%): Individual theoretical/practical test without consultation, held in the last class.
The weighted average of the marks for the assessment elements (not less than 8 marks for each assessment element) will constitute the final mark for this scheme, which, if it is greater than or equal to 10 marks, will exempt the student from the final exam.
Final Exam:
-Written test (100%) Individual practical theory test without consultation, with a minimum mark of 8 - 1st season, 2nd season and Special Season.

The assessment for the course may be done throughout the semester or by a final exam.
The assessment throughout the semester includes:
a) One written individual test with 60% weight;
b) A teamwork with 40% weight.
The approval for this course is obtained if the students get a final average grade of 10, provided that they do not have a grade lower than 7.5 in the written test and a grade lower than 10 in the teamwork.
The assessment by exam consists of a written test, which accounts for 100% of the final grade. The exam is divided into two components: a theoretical-practical component (worth 60%) and a practical component conducted in the laboratory, (worth 40%). A student with an admissible grade in his/her teamwork may be exempt from the practical component of the final exam. In such cases, the grade from the teamwork will be considered as the 40% practical component of the final grade.
