Other comments and second call

1st attempt:

The subject can be passed:

By partial assessments: The grade will be the weighted average of T1+T2+T3.

To be able to average or offset T1 or T2, the score for each of these must be greater than or equal to 3.5.

There will be a final exam for the first attempt: With any uncompensated partial.

2nd attempt:

For the second attempt, there will be a final exam covering the entire subject.

The final grade will vary between: 90% if T3 was completed and 100% if T3 was not completed.
