Assessment comments |
The evaluation will follow the same criteria for the first opportunity as for the second. In the situations of partial-time registration or assistance exemption, it will be established a special program and a system of delivery with the coordinator for the activities which cannot be realized in the classroom. If necessary, due to exceptional circumstances, the objective test at the second opportunity may be weighted 100% of the grade. Fraudulent performance of tests or assessment activities, such as plagiarism, will directly lead to a mark of '0' in the subject of the corresponding exam session, thus invalidating any marks obtained in the other assessment activities. |
