ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE
The assessment of learning will be conducted through a practical test.
The practical test comprises four exercises to be carried out by the student using the Onda iQ Vision software.
The duration allocated for completion of the examination is 40 minutes, and a minimum of two correctly completed exercises is required to pass.
The practical test was chosen because it makes sure that students are treated fairly.
Conducting the examination on ERP software enables the verification of students' learning of the notions provided and the acquisition of application skills.
Pre-registration (spontaneous registration through Aulaweb) is recommended for students intending to attend.
It is mandatory for at least 75% of the lessons to be attended in order to be eligible to undertake the exam.
It is important to note that attendance is valid for a duration of 14 months after the conclusion of the teaching unit.
