Assessement
The
assessment is composed by a
theoretical part and a laboratorial
part.
The
student must have a minimum of 9.5
points in each part
The
final grade for the approved students
(in all possible dates) is weighted in
60% for the theoretical part and 40%
for the laboratorial part.
1.
Theoretical Part
The assessment of the theoretical part
can be distributed or centralized:
Distributed
assessment – consists on having three
(3) mid-term tests. On the date of the
final exam it is possible to repeat
the 2nd or the 3rd mid-term test upon
invitation from the professors. The
theoretical grade is calculated using
the following formula:
theor_grade
= 30% 1st test + 30% 2nd test
Centralized
assessment – consists on having a
final exam. In this case the
theoretical grade is the grade of the
exam. Students that opted by the
distributed assessment can change to
the centralized assessment any time
during the semester.

Control; QoS; Internetworking)
2nd test –
Network Layer (IP
protocols, MPLS, SDN); Transport Layer
2. Laboratory Part
The laboratorial part consists on one
(1) training project to learn the
development environment and two (2)
projects for assessment.
The
final grade of the laboratorial part
includes a continuous assessment of
the student performance throughout the
laboratorial sessions and an oral
examination per project to discuss the
way the student implemented the
project.
The
continuous performance assessment
includes the advanced preparation of
the each project, the simplicity of
the implementation structure and code,
the meeting of the various deadlines
(partial and final) and the
distribution of the effort between the
members of the group.
3. Save of the final grade
If
the student succeeds in the
laboratorial part but fails in the
theoretical part, the laboratorial
grade can be used in the future for
three scholar years. If the students
does not succeed within this time
frame (s)he will have to perform the
laboratorial part again.
4. Admission
to a Special Date of examination
The exam called “special date exam”
can only be performed by those
students who have a valid laboratorial
grade.
5. Types of Grades
*
Ausente (Absent) --- A
A
student that did not subscribe the
laboratory if (s)he has not a valid
grade yet. Or the student that has a
valid laboratorial grade but did not
attend any exam.
*
Excluído (Excluded) --- E
A
student that stopped attending the
laboratory (4 misses or over)
*
Faltou (Missing) --- F
A
student that missed the sequence of
mid-term tests, or miss the exam.
*
Reprovado (Fail) --- R
A
student that performed both
theoretical and laboratorial parts but
did not succeed to have the minimum
grades that were demanded (in one of
them or both).
*
Aprovado (Approved) --- from 10 to 20
A
student that succeeded in the course
(both parts) .

Grade Calculation
The
theoretical grade is calculated using
the following formula:
Distributed
assessment:
Theor_Grade = ( 0,30*1st test +
0,30*2nd test)*100/60
Centralized
assessment:
Theor_Grade = Final Exam
The
Final Grade is calculated using the
following formula:
Final Grade = Theor_Grade*0,60
+ Laboratorial Grade*0,40
