Continuous assessment:
Theoretical-component – perform a written test. The test has a minimum grade of 9.5.
Practical component – perform a written work, with a minimum rating of 9.5. The note of this component is 30% of the final mark of the course.
Final evaluation:
Conducting an examination consisting of a written, practical and oral test. To access the oral exam the student is required to obtain the written evidence and practice a minimum grade of 9.5 values.
