Assessment(s)
N°	Nature	Coefficient	Observable objectives
1	In this midterm, the students will be evaluated in the following topics: - Classes of Materials and Manufacturing Processes - Atomic Bonding - Atomic and Crystalline Structures - Crystallographic Directions and Planes - Material Properties	0,3	Students will have a mid-term at the mid-course about the topics covered in the first half of the course.
2	The final exam tests the students’ understanding of the entire course, which includes: - Classes of Materials and Manufacturing Processes - Atomic Bonding - Atomic and Crystalline Structures - Crystallographic Directions and Planes - Material Properties - Failure - Dislocations and Strengthening - Basics of the Phase Diagram	0,6	At the end of the course, there will be a final exam about all the concepts covered in the course. The exam consists of short questions as well as thorough analysis problems.
3	Continuous Assessment	0,1	The students should expect a drop quiz in each session about the previous lesson. The student will also be evaluated for their behavior in class.
