Other comments and second exam session |
No late assignments will be accepted. No tests/exams will be taken outside scheduled dates and times. 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. Primera Convocatòria (Continuous Assessment) requires 4 marks (paper, and 3 exams) and a minimum of 6.0 in the average grade of the three exams to compute for the final grade. 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 must obtain a minimum of 6.0 to pass this exam.
During the exams, any mobile telephone, tablet or other device that has not been expressly authorized for the exam must be switched off and out of view.Any attempt to pass any exam of any subject by fraudulent means (be this physical or electronic) will result in the student being awarded a fail for the exam in question. |
