Other comments and second exam session

The best 80% of Handouts, case reports, and problem solutions will be taken into account for the final grade. This method ensures that students can learn through the evaluation process and also serves to recover missed activities due to ilness or other circumstances.

The second call exam permits to improve only the grade of the continuous evaluation exam, not the grade of the problems, handouts or case study reports.

During the exams there will be no mobile phones or other communication devices allowed nor the connection to the internet.
