The process of continuous evaluation is a set of 2-5 handouts/tests with a global weight not higher than 50% which are followed by a final test.

Second call is a test with a 100% weight.

The use of mobile phones or other communication devices during the individual tests is not permitted. In the event of a breach of this rule, the professor will act as indicated in article 24 of the URV's Academic and Enrollment Regulations, considering that fraudulent action has been taken in assessment activities.
