Assessment comments

Full-time and part-time students will be evaluated equally both in the 1st,the 2nd and the extraordinary opportunity.

The student is reminded of the importance of deadlines when submitting work, as well as the importance of complying with the rules and regulations of the UDC, and referencing all documentation and content not prepared by the student. Specifically, the fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the qualification of failing "0" in the subject, in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary summons
