The assessment rules for this course, according to the General Assessment Regulation for Master's Degrees (RGACM - see Appendix 1), is given by:
Normal Period
Students, in order to pass in the normal period, may follow two distinct strategies:
a) Attend lectures and seminars, produce an individual essay, and seat for an individual, written, and unseen exam (NPWE).
b) Only seat for the NPWE.
Students choosing a) cannot obtain a lower mark than the one they would obtain had they chosen b). Therefore, the final mark is obtained as the maximum between:
-
the mark obtained in the NPWE;
-
the weighted average of the marks obtained in the NPWE (60%) and in the individual essay (40%), subject to handing a minimum number of solutions in.
Problem solutions
In this option, in each tutorial the student has to hand the handwritten solution of a small number of problems (one or two) on the topics taught in the previous weeks. For students attending the seminar in person, these solutions are handed in at the beginning of the seminar. For students attending the seminar online, the solutions are submitted via Aquila. Problems eligible are announced at least three days in advance. A student is considered apt to be assessed in this way if and only if she/he hands a minimum of 9 solutions (in 13 weeks) in.
Individual essay
The length limit for an essay is 7 A4 pages (3 cm margins, one-and-a-half line spacing, and font size 12), including references, tables, and figures. Topics for the essays are related to the syllabus of the subject, but are not limited by it. For some rules for written work in ISEG of ULisboa download the paper here.
