Other comments and second exam session

In order to pass the course in the first call, it is necessary to pass the average of the global grade of 5, regardless of the number of practicals that the student has passed or handed in. If the student does not pass this grade and is failed, in the second call he/she will have to complete those practicals that he/she has not handed in or repeat those that the professor considers. The correction criteria will be the same in the first and second call.

On the other hand, the professor reserves the right to give individual marks in group practices. In fact, each member of the group must identify the work performed.

Single evaluation

In case the student cannot follow the continuous evaluation, he/she must contact the professor of the course before February 29, 2024, in order to agree on an alternative and single evaluation. If you do not notify before this date, you will not have the right to take this type of evaluation.

The person who gives a single evaluation will have to submit the same practices as the students who give a continuous evaluation. However, if he/she cannot do group work, alternatives will be provided. Likewise, you will have to do extra work to compensate for not attending classes.
