Assessment comments
  1. Subjective test: on the date approved by Xunta de Facultade for the academic year 2018-19 (first opportunity at the end of the semester). This date is not negotiable. Students should make sure they are present, especially if they travel during the Christmas holidays. This is valid for both UDC students and Erasmus students.
  2. The dates for submitting work and for the research must be adhered to; any circumstance which prevents a student from fulfilling his/her obligations must be officially justified in writing, together with appropriate documents.
  3. The equivalent of a 5 out of 10 is necessary in each section of the assessment in order to pass this subject.
  4. The second opportunity in July, according to the date fixed in the academic calendar, will be based on the repetition of the parts(s) not already passed, maintaining the same percentages.
  5. The July opportunity is not intended for improving marks of sections already passed; it is only for those parts which have not been passed.
  6. Students will obtain a "no presentado" (absent from assessment) if they do not attend the written exam and and if they do not hand in the requiired practical work (ICT practicals and the review).
  7. Students who fail the first opportunity and do not attend the second opportunity in July will receive SUSPENSO --fail--.
