Other comments and second exam session

It is not allowed to use any communication system during theory exams.

To pass the progressive assessment it's mandatory:

- to deliver in-time all required materials for every practice.

- both theory and practice global marks have to be >= 5.

In order to test the student knowledge, theory exams can include some questions related to practices. A bad performance in these questions could lead to a decrease in practice's marks.

Second Call:

Students can take a new evaluation of any part individually (in particular, those that have not been passed). Marks obtained in this second chance will substitute those obtained previously while the rest wil be kept. Applied conditions and weights will remain the same.
