Other comments and second exam session |
This subject is evaluted by continuous assessment and there's no second call. During the exams, any mobil 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. In addition to this, the gravity of the offence may lead the faculty/school to propose that the student be subjected to disciplinary proceedings, which will be initiated by a resolution from the rector. |
