Se considera imprescindible dedicar al estudio de la materia, como mínimo, 70 horas efectivas.

La inasistencia a clase, el no realizar las actividades docentes programadas y el dejar para el final el estudio de la materia limitan extraordinariamente las posibilidades de superarla.

Con el fin de facilitar la resolución de las dudas, los profesores responsables de la materia atenderán a los alumnos, además de en el horario "oficial" de tutoría, en cualquier otro momento en el que estén libres. La atención se realizará en los despachos de que disponen los profesores en la Facultad de Derecho y en la Facultad de Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela.

LA REALIZACIÓN FRAUDULENTA DE CUALESQUIERA ACTIVIDADES PROPUESTAS A LOS ALUMNOS A LO LARGO DEL CURSO CONDUCIRÁ A QUE ESTAS SE TENGAN POR NO REALIZADAS. LA REALIZACIÓN FRAUDULENTA DEL EXAMEN FINAL DETERMINARÁ LA EXPULSIÓN DE ESTE Y LA CALIFICACIÓN DE SUSPENSO EN LA CORRESPONDIENTE CONVOCATORIA, ASÍ COMO EL SOMETIMIENTO A EXAMEN ORAL EN LAS SIGUIENTES CONVOCATORIAS.
