| Description |
|
Each professor of the subject will inform you of the mechanisms he has established to attend to queries. You will find the instructions in the professor's profile on the Virtual Campus, or in the staff details on the DEIM website. We will answer your emails within a maximum of 48 hours, on working days. However, we encourage you to use the Virtual Campus doubts forum to raise your questions: maybe someone has already raised the doubt before and someone else has solved it! |

To pass the subject in continuous evaluation, it is necessary to pass separately each of the two theory parts. In the second call, the suspended parts can be repeated. Internships must be approved separately. If the practices are given in the second call, it is possible that some extra requirement is necessary to be accepted. For more details, consult the information on the Virtual Campus. During the exams, electronic devices cannot be used and, at any time, you may be asked for identification. |
