Observations

Considering the operational recommendations for maintaining teaching and non-teaching activities in person, but in the impossibility of guaranteeing the presence of all the teaching activities of the 1st semester of 2020/2021 in the current pandemic context, due to the lack of physical facilities able to accommodate with security the number of students in this cycle of studies, this UC will partially take place at a distance, with synchronous moments, using telematic means.
