Other comments and second exam session |
Each partial must have a minimum grade of 3.5. The second call consists of a written test of the whole content of the subject. During evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices not expressly authorized by the test must be switched off and out of sight. The demonstration of fraudulent conduct of some evaluative activity of a subject in both material: virtual and electronic support, leads to the student the fail of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, in view of the seriousness of the facts, the centre may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector.
