The course unit coordinator may require a complementary oral discussion in relation to any assessment component/instrument provided for in this Course Unit Form, whenever this proves necessary to confirm the acquisition of the knowledge and competences assessed, or to clarify discrepancies between different assessment components.
The complementary oral discussion does not constitute an autonomous assessment instrument, carries no weighting of its own in the final grade for the course unit, and is intended exclusively to validate the grade awarded for the respective assessment component/instrument. The grade previously awarded for that component/instrument shall be provisional until the complementary oral discussion has taken place and may be confirmed or revised in light of the validation carried out and the applicable assessment criteria.
The student shall be notified of the complementary oral discussion at least 24 hours in advance, with the date and time indicated. Failure to attend, without an acceptable justification, shall make it impossible to validate the respective assessment component/instrument, and the consequences provided for cases of non-completion or withdrawal shall apply.
