Other comments and second exam session

In order to calculate the average final mark will need consideration the practices and problems, and the project integrator, having a grade 4 or higher and the overall grade of the course is equal or higher than 5.

The project will be in the group but the assessment is individual.

In the tests will not be bringing any electronic device, only a scientific calculator (not programmable).

2nd call:

In the second call should be recovered from separate examination (30%) and comprehensive project (40%), if they have a grade lower than 4 in the first round. If retrieving the project integrator, will finish it without the help of the teacher. If the practices is less than 4 on first call, l these evaluated with an exam (30%) in the second call.

In the tests will not be bringing any electronic device, only a scientific calculator (not programmable).

The exams will be heldin person. In case of lockdown or mobility restrictions caused by the Covid-19health emergency, the assessment activities, including exams, would be doneonline on the scheduled dates. Updated information can be found on Moodle(virtual teaching space).

Assessmentactivities must be planned in order to be carried out in a mixed or online modein the event of lockdown
