Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation

Attendance is compulsory. Excused absences may be made up with the activity indicated by the person in charge of the session.



The intervention of the student in the classes will be valued, the questions and comments made in each session will be valued. A high participation and attendance to 100% of the sessions allows to pass the course.



An unexcused attendance of less than 80% of the sessions will result in the failure of the course.

In the case of absence with a justified cause (more than 30%), an exam/test of the subject adjusted to the specific situation will be carried out.



The evaluation tests of the course will be adjusted to the characteristics of the group and will be made explicit at the beginning of the course.

Extraordinary call: orientations and renunciation

The extraordinary call will involve the realization of an exam/test of the subject that will consist of the development of a topic of the subject to choose between two chosen at random.
