RECOVERY:

People who do not pass the continuous assessment will have the right to recovery on the day officially set by the faculty, provided that these students have been previously assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total rating.

The people who pass the subject by means of the recovery the maximum note that will appear in his file will be of a 5.

On the other hand, if the student has not been evaluated in this set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade will be evaluated with a grade of "Not presented".

PESTS:

In the event of several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
