Evaluation Methodology
The assessment consists of two components: a practical component evaluated through reports and assignments related to the lab sessions (PL) (50%), and a theoretical component evaluated through two midterm tests and a final written exam (50%). Students with a grade below 9 (out of 20) in the practical component are excluded from the theoretical assessment. Students with an average grade of at least 10 (out of 20) in the tests are exempt from the final exam. A passing grade is achieved with an overall average of at least 10.
