Assessment comments

Students who fail or do not show up at the first convocation, may present themselves at the second convocation which may consist of a new exam or new tutored work. This question will be raised in due course by either of the two teachers who teach the subject.

Students who are recognised as having a part-time job and who do not need to attend class must talk to the teachers who teach the subject in order to establish a proposal for evaluation and monitoring. In any case, these students will have the obligation to carry out, like the rest of the students, the most relevant activities (supervised work, seminars, etc.) to be evaluated and marked by the teachers of the subject.
