Others Es recorda que l'alumnat ha de respectar el criteri de l'absoluta correcció lingüística a totes les seves proves d'avaluació (com a ensenyament-aprenentatge) i que no fer-ho pot ser motiu director de suspens. Asimisme, qualsevol circumstància de plagi per part de l'alumnat pot suponer el suspens director de l'assignatura, sense possibilitat de repetir a la segona convocatòria. Finalment, recomana a l'alumnat consultar la planificació específica alojada a l'espai Moodle de l'assignatura.
 
Other comments and second exam session

As part of the continuous evaluation, in those cases where the students make a second delivery of an evaluable activity suspended or not submitted. This delivery will be made, within 45 days after the end of the subject, on the date determined by the teacher, only in those cases in which the student expressly contacts to request it within the ordinary teaching period of the subject. 

Once this period has ended, it will be understood that the student withdraws and will not be entitled to this second opportunity.

It is remembered that the students have to respect the criterion of absolute linguistic correctness in all their evaluation tests (and also of teaching-learning) and that failure to do so can be a direct reason for suspension
