RULES FOR ABSENCE AND PLAGIARISM
Attendance at case study sessions is mandatory. Students are asked to form groups of four or five by the end of the second theoretical session. It is up to the students to decide about their groups’ composition. For obvious logistic and administrative reasons, once formed, these groups cannot be changed under whatever circumstances. Any unjustified absence will automatically lead to a penalty of 20% of the final grade.
