Other comments and second exam session

It is necessary to obtain at least a 4.5 of the average of the short practical tests for this grade to participate in the overall grade of the subject.

The subject is passed with a 5 as an overall grade.

2nd call: if the student does not pass the practical tests of short questions, it is necessary to take a final exam in the second call that will be worth 55% of the subject grade (the notes for problems, handouts and practices, will be considered only when the exam grade is equal to or higher than 4.5).

Mobile phones may not be ON during the short practice tests, mobile phones may not be in sight and the student may not manipulate them during the tests. The student cannot use any external means of communication or connect to the network to do something that is not strictly allowed in the exam.
