go up to the next point; .49 goes down. The reading reports must be of a one page long, no more than page and a
half. The content must show that you read the whole text, you must include parts from the beginning, middle and
end of the reading to have the 10 points of the reading report. Do not copy and paste.
Note: The mínimum grade to pass the course is 7.0, therefore 6.0 to 6.9 = 6.0.
It is responsability of the student to sign the report card; the lack of the signature does not invalidate the
grade. In remote classes it will be done through the canvas plataform.
