Other comments and second exam session |

No late assignments will be accepted. No tests/exams will be taken outside scheduled dates and times, unless properly justified. 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. 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 will not have to write the mini-project for segona convocatòria. |
