Other comments and second exam session

There is a secon chance for those students that failed in one of the parts (thermal or hydraulic). In this exam the student will be evaluated only of the failed part.
It is forbidden to use mobile phones or other communication devices when the evaluation activities are in course. In case of violating this norm the instructor will act as indicated in article 24 of the academic regulations of the URV considering the action as fraudulent activity.
