Other comments and second exam session |
There will be two partial assessments that eliminate contents: one for the thermal part another one for the electrical part. 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 failed in one of the previous tests. In this new exam the student will be evaluated only of the failed one. It isforbidden to use mobile phones or other communication devices during evaluations. In case of violating this norm the professor 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. |
