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 3 marks (paper, mid-term exam, final exam) and a minimum of 60% in both 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 60% to pass this exam.
According to URV regulations, “el professor podrà establir a la Guia Docent aquelles mesures que consideri oportunes per al bon desenvolupament de les activitats avaluatives. Les mesures podrien incloure limitacions pel que fa a l'ús o tinença de dispositius de comunicació i transmissió de dades durant la realització de les proves i seran d'obligat compliment per part de l'estudiantat" (art. 21 NAM Grau i art. 20 NAM Màster). This means that the use of mobile phones or any such devices will not be allowed while students carry out evaluable tasks.
