El examen de la segunda convocatoria contara un 100 % de la nota. No està permesa la utilització de telèfons mòbils o d'altres dispositius de comunicació durant la realització de les proves d'avaluació. En cas d'infringir aquesta norma el professor actuarà tal i com indica l'article 24 de la Normativa Acadèmica i de Matrícula de la URV, considerant que s'ha realitzat una acció fraudulenta en activitats d'avaluació. |
