Assessment comments
IMPORTANT: Attendance to at least the 80% of classes is required in order to pass the course, unless justified and autorized by the professor. Students who do not meet this requirement will have the qualification of SUSPENSE.

The "students with recognition of a part-time academic and exemption of assistance" will communicate at the beginning of the course your situation to the teachers of the subject, as established by the "Standard that regulates the dedication to the study of undergraduates in the UDC "(Art.3.be 4.5) and the" Standards for evaluation, review and claim of the qualifications of undergraduate and master's degree (Art. 3 and 8b).

Students in this situation will be assessed on the date approved by the School Board, by an objective test consisting of solving exercises on the contents of step 3 of the Guide.
