Other comments and second exam session |
No late assignments will be accepted. No tests/exams will be taken outside scheduled dates and times, unless properly justified. In cases where results are borderline, regular attendance (above 80%) and active participation in class discussions may be taken into consideration, at the tutor's discretion. Segona Convocatòria will consist of a written exam worth 100% which will include questions and exercises on all the topics covered in the course. Students will not have to write the mini-project for segona convocatòria. This teaching guide is provisional only. If any health emergency arises it will be adapted in order to comply with the directives issued by the competent bodies. Any modification will be announced via the news forum on the Moodle online campus. |
