| Description |
| The instructor will be available during office hours to provide further help and guidance to the students individually. Students should take advantage of these meetings to solve questions and doubts they may have with specific parts of the course material. The specific hours in which those meetings may be scheduled will be posted in the Moodle workspace before the course starts.

The use of electronic communication devices (phones, tablets, etc.) during the individual written tests is strictly forbidden. All devices must be disconnected and stored not in sight while the students are inside the classroom. If numerical calculation tools were required for the exam, the students will be informed in advance about the possibility and conditions of use of personal laptop computers. In any case, the computer will be used with the network access deactivated and for the sole purpose of the exam. |
