Assessment methods

The final exam shall be an oral assessment within the integrated course of Neurological, Psychiatric Diseases and Pain (I.C.).

 

FINAL GRADES:

To pass the exam, you will need to reach at least the pass-mark (18/30) in all modules of the I.C.; the final grade will be the marks weighted average. Cum laude will be considered when obtained in at least one of the modules with a full score (30/30) in the others. Registration of the examination grades will occur during the Thursday session. The student will be able to accept or decline the final grades. If a student did not pass any modules, he/she would be able to sustain again only the exam of the failed modules (maintaining the grades obtained in the others), as long as this occurred within the same academic year.
