Final marks and orals

Please note:
I am checking the marks which I posted Saturday night.

Your final marks will be posted in this blog and then in the Secretaria Virtual this weekend.

Please note that each task is assessed according to the percentages given in the course outline, which you will find in this blog, posted back in September.

Marks are calculated according to the calculations across all the tasks.

Please note:
1. If you did not complete an assignment, including the presentations or debate, forum contribution, or written tasks, the final mark is reduced accordingly.

2. If your final mark is between 8 and 10.00, the exame de recurso, and indeed the melhoria is on 11th February at 14.00. You will need to register for these exams.

Check room in the department, but I think it is room 04.
