The final grade is the weighted average of the three parts: theoretical test (30%), final project (50%) and practicals (20%).

If the average is below 5, only the final exam or the final project for the course can be retaken. If both parts are failed, the course cannot be retaken.

Methodology

An active methodology is used, combining the necessary theoretical knowledge with its practical application in the cases presented in class and in the comprehensive creation process of an event that serves as the final project for the course.
