Other comments and second exam session |
The assessment will consist of group projects (50%) and a final exam (50%). The participation and behavior of the student in class is taken into account throughout the semester in the calculation of the final mark of the subject. Important! 1 - In order to pass the subject, you must achieve a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 in the multiple choice exam at the end of the semester. For students who do not achieve a minimum of 4/10 in the multiple choice test, will not achieve an overall pass grade for the subject. 2 - In the second sitting of exams, 100% of the grade based on the final exam. In other words, there is no continuous evaluation for the second sitting. 3 - We cannot keep continuous evaluation grades from one academic year to the next. |
