Assessment
 
Other comments and second exam session

Tant a la primera com a la segona convocatòria el sistema d'avaluació serà fer un Examen final que comptarà el 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.
