Animals, Ruminants and Equines (approval for each frequency >9.5v) Practice -Average 3 practical notes (S. animals, Ruminants and Equines) (approval each component >9.5v) -Practical and theoretical component assessment transfers to exam. -Students don't pass one of the components (theoretical or practical), can only take the missing component during exam periods of that academic year -Ruminant and Equine Assessment: class attendance and respective logbooks -Assessment S. animals: class attendance and mini-tests in classes B) Exam Regime Assessment -Mandatory attendance at 2/3 practical classes (except SW). -Final classification = average of practical assessment (50%) and theoretical assessment (50%). -Final approval: final classification equal to or greater than 9.5v
