Other comments and second exam session

The second call consists of an individual exam. The evaluation from the group assignment will be conserved.

It isforbidden to use mobile phones or other communication devices during evaluations. In case of violating this norm the professor will act as indicatedin article 24 of the Academic Regulations and registration of the URV, considering that action is performed fraudulent activities of evaluation.
