Assessment comments

We will give the maximum, legally permitted, number of As with Honors. In the event that the Congress can not be held, its qualification will be added to that of the reports. Relating to part-time students, as well as students with academic waiver of attendance exemption, we will not negatively
assess their lack
of attending lessons, but they must submit the reports and practice
exams in the same conditions applied to full-time students. As a rule, the same assessment system governs the second chance, above all concerning the exams. Following the instructions of the competent academic authorities, we
remember, on the one hand, in the event of plagiarism, that the activity at issue will
not be assessed; and on the other hand, that the fraudulent performance of the evaluation tests or activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of failure in the call in which it is committed (the student will be graded with "suspenso" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the commission of the fault occurs in the first opportunity or in the second, andthe student's grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary).
