LAST-MINUTE NEWS!!

A LOS DEPARTAMENTOS DE LA FACULTAD DE HUMANIDADES, por favor, sirvanse comunicar a los docentes de la Facultad de Humanidades lo que se detalla mas abajo:

A través de la Resolución de Rectorado 558/09 el Rector de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata dispone el cese de las actividades académicas a partir del día de las 16:00 horas del día de la fecha, motivo por el cual, también en esta Unidad Académica se suspenden todas las actividades.
Ante la situación de estar en las últimas semanas de clases que implicaba toma de parciales y recuperatorios, esta Secretaría Académica informa a los docentes de las distintas cátedras que las actividades de evaluación sean previstas en las semanas del 3 al 14 de agosto del corriente.
La finalización del primer cuatrimestre por tanto, sería el día 14 de agosto, debiendo los docentes elevar la entrega de informe de regularidades a partir de esa fecha (o antes de la fecha preestablecida) y hasta el 18 de agosto.
Los docentes pueden prever formas alternativas de evaluación para el cierre de las cursadas (parciales domiciliarios, consultas por correo electrónico, trabajos monográficos, etc).
Debido a que es imposible realizar las actas en tiempo y forma, las mesas examinadoras de la semana comprendida entre el 3 y el 7 de agosto se suspenden. Los estudiantes deberán inscribirse en el turno de examen que va desde el 24 de agosto al 4 de setiembre.
No se modifica el calendario correspondiente a la 2° parte del año 2009.

Dr. Luis Porta.
Secretario Académico.
