There will be two partial assessments that eliminate contents: one for the thermal machines and one for the hydraulic. To pass the course the student must pass both parts separately, i.e., he must obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5 out of 10 in each part. There is a second chance for those student that fail in one of the previous tests. In this new exam the student will be evaluated only of the failed part It is forbidden to use mobile phones or other communication devices for conducting evaluation tests. In case of violating this norm teacher will act as indicated in article 24 of the Academic Regulations and registration of the URV, considering that action is performed fraudulent activities of evaluation. |
