Other comments and second exam session |
It is needed to get at least 4 out of 10 in each of the evaluation terms. For the second call, the final exam will comprise 70% of the grade. The remaining 30% will come from continuous assessment: 30% resolving an open problem (report) and hands-out. During testing assessment, mobile phones,tablets and other electronic devices that are not expressly authorized for the test must be switched off and out of sight. |
