First opportunity evaluation: a weighted grade will be calculated according to the weights indicated in the Methodologies.

Second chance evaluation: the same criteria will be followed as for the first chance evaluation.

Advance call: before the date of this call, the student will deliver the works proposed and not approved in the previous calls.

The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will automatically imply a failure grade "0" in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities.
The "students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of attendance exemption" will communicate at the beginning of the course their situation to the teachers of the subject, as established by the "Standard that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of undergraduate students in the UDC "(Art.3.be 4.5) and the" Standards for evaluation, review and claim of the qualifications of the undergraduate and master's degree studies (Art. 3 e 8b). The students in this situation will be evaluated by solving the same practical cases proposed in exercises through ICT practices.TIC.
