The student must complete the online course by 11:59 pm on the day before the 6th class of the shift in which the student is enrolled, including the response to the survey available after completing the online course.

1.3. Individual Assessment Test (70%): It takes place in the 6th class, and multiple-choice questions and/or exercises using Excel may be considered. If the test is made available via Moodle, it must be taken on the computers available in the classroom.

2. Evaluation by Exam: Evaluation by exam takes place during the evaluation period, focusing on all the subjects taught in the UC. The student can opt for the 1st or 2nd exam season or the special exam season, which is only available for eligible students. This method only presupposes the following element of evaluation:

2.1. Written Test (100%): Final written exam, covering all syllabus, and may consider multiple-choice questions and/or exercises using Excel. If the exam is made available via Moodle, it must be taken on the computers available in the classroom.
