Economic Policy and Business Activity (2 º Sem 2017/2018)

The student assessment in this course follows the principles below:

1.       Ongoing student assessment during the semester accounts for 40% of the course final mark and includes the following elements:

·          Two mini-tests with topics and date arranged in advance (50% of ongoing student assessment).

·          Presentation and discussion of the texts selected for the practical sessions (50% of ongoing student assessment).

2.       Students who have an average mark below 10 values on the ongoing student assessment will not be able to take the final written exam in the normal examination period, but can take the final exam in other examination periods.

3.       The overall final mark will consist of: 40% of the average mark from the ongoing student assessment (see point 1) and 60% of the mark obtained in the final written exam.

4.       Students taking the final written exam in the second examination period will also benefit from the mark obtained in the ongoing student assessment if this helps increase their overall final mark (i.e. if the ongoing student assessment mark is higher than the mark of the final written exam). If the mark of the final written exam in the second examination period is higher than the mark of the ongoing student assessment, the former prevails.

5.       In the case of the special examination period, the overall final mark consists only of the mark obtained in the written exam.
