Other comments and second call

In the online mode, there will be a final exam either in person or using proctoring tools.

For students in the distance learning mode of the master's program:

Regarding the proctoring programs used (SMOWL) during the official exams for the distance learning mode, browsing pages external to the exam itself, unless expressly indicated, may lead to failing that activity, at the discretion of the faculty. In case of identification problems, faculty may require additional evaluation activities via video conference. The conditions of these tests can be affected by connectivity, lighting, etc., and it is the student's responsibility to follow the instructions received regarding this, as well as to protect their privacy by taking the exam in an appropriate environment (isolated, with good connection, lighting, etc.). Recommendations for students using SMOWL can be found at the following link: http://bit.ly/3ZrtxVs
