The scoring methodology for the Audiovisual Communication
course considers three components, as follows:
•
Final exam after the lecturing period with
a weight of 70% in the final score;
•
Scientific paper and related Web page on a selected
topic with a weight of 30% in the final score;
•
Participation in the laboratory sessions by
filling a form to be returned at the end of each lab session.
The final score is computed as:
Final_score
= round [(0.7 × Exam_score + 0.3 × Paper_score) × Lab]
where Lab
is 1 if the student has participated in, at least, N-1 of the N lab sessions
and 0.95, otherwise.
· Exam
§ The minimum exam score is 9.5.
· Paper
§ The minimum paper score is 9.5.
§ The paper is to be written in groups of 2
or 3 students but the score will be individual.
§ The paper scoring may include a
presentation/discussion, if this is considered necessary.
§ The paper scoring may include a
self-assessment component which may raise the paper score in 1 score point at
maximum. The students will get a bonus in the paper score of 1 unit if their
score estimation and the professor score (who does not know the student
estimates) are the same; they will get 0.5 point bonus if the estimate is
within 1 score point of the professor’s score.
· Final
score
§ Students with a final score higher than 17
must perform an additional oral exam to confirm the score unless this is
considered not necessary.; not performing this oral
exam, if requested, implies getting automatically a final score of 17.
§ The score will be valid for subsequent
years.
For
2014/2015, the deadline for the scientific is the 12th DECEMBER 2014
(Friday).
By
31st October (Friday), the students must send the teacher by email (fp@lx.it.pt)
a 1-page pdf file with the planned outline of scientific
paper.
