Activitats d'avaluació:

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
Students need a minimum mark of 5 to pass the course.

Students have some tutorial hours where they can go over lesson points with their lecturer in a face-to-face context. To have a tutorial session, students must book a time slot by means of the BOOKEO app.

For a good use of these tutorial sessions, students should go well-prepared in advance with queries and questions. Tutorials should not be regarded as private lessons aimed at catching up for classroom absences.

Tutorials can be on site or on line, on request.

Les tutories podran ser presencials o en línia, a petició de l'estudiant.

The most common communication method outside the classroom is the mail of our virtual campus or the school’s gmail.

Lecturers can give feedback on submitted tasks by means of the COMMENTS box of the evaluated task entry of our campus.

In the case of implementing an online teaching system, we may also make use of other tools such as the forum of our virtual campus, meetings with MEET or chats with HANGOUTS.
