Assessment comments

The "Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption waiver" will communicate their situation to the teaching staff of the subject at the beginning of the course, according to the "Norm that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of the students of degree in the UDC "(Art.3.be 4.5) and the"Standards of evaluation, review and claim of the qualifications of the studies of degree and master's degree" (Art. 3 and 8b). In this case, attendance to the classes will not be a requirement, but these students must submit the cases and exercises done in the classroom and their qualification will be the same as the rest of the students.

The aforementioned evaluation criteria will apply to both the first and the second opportunity. 

The grade of 'Not present' will only be given to students who only participated in course activities worth under 20% of the final grade. 

The grade obtained by students who pass a portion of the course with a mixed exam (partial exam), will be valid only for the ongoing academic year. If a student in such situation fails to pass the complete course in either the first opportunity or the second opportunity, his/her final grade will be 'Fail', implying that he/she will have to re-take the whole course during incoming academic years. 

Students wishing to improve their final test exam grade will be able to do so only after applying to the professors and securing their authorization. 

Students taking the anticipated December opportunity will be subject to the same criteria as those applying to second opportunity. 

It is forbidden to access the classroom with any device allowing for data transmission and/or warehousing when any of the evaluations is taking place.
