The definitive evaluation calendar will be informed at the beginning of the subject.

The time dedicated to the evaluation activities and the autonomous work time are summative, given that many of the training activities that will be proposed to students as autonomous work, will be part of the evaluation of the student.

The return of the marks of the works and of the written test (examination) will be maximum 15 days after the delivery.

Class attendance is mandatory: students must attend a minimum of 80% of the classes. Otherwise, it will be considered non-evaluable.

In case of not passing the subject in the official call, a recovery exam will be taken at the end of the course. The plagiarism or copy of any of the evaluative activities is reason for the suspension of the subject.
