Other comments on the Evaluation
The assistance to the field trip, seminars and practical is compulsory. Falling to attend to 20% or more of the lectures will automatically disqualify. It is necessary to attain at least 40% of the maximum mark in each block to compensate. If no student reaches a qualification of 9, the possibility to celebrate an additional test will be considered. Only the top 4 students with qualification above 7,5 will be invited. Students failing the course will have to retake all the parts the following year. It is required of the students who pursue this matter to observe a responsible and honest conduct. It is deemed inadmissible any form of fraud (i.e. copy and / or plagiarism) aimed to distort the level of knowledge or skill achieved by a student in any type of test, work or report designed for this purpose. This fraudulent conduct will be sanctioned with firmeness accordingly to current regulations.
