Other comments and second exam session |
To average, minimum grade of each section is 4. For the second call, the final exam will account for 70% of the grade. The remaining 30% will come from continuous assessment: 30% of solving a problem or open case. During testing assessment, mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices that are not expressly authorized for the test must be switched off and out of sight. |
