Evaluation


Continuous assessment is considered along the semester based on the following activities:

Learning outcome Assessment activity Weight (%) Resit assessment
O1, O2 Midterm exam A on lessons 1 and 2 35 Yes (final exam)
O3, O4 Midterm exam B on lessons 3 and 4 45 Yes (final exam) 
O5 Midterm exam C on lesson 5 20 (Minimum to be considered in the final mark: 3 out of 10) Yes (final exam)


In order to pass the subject, one of the following conditions must be fulfilled:

  • the mark of the midterm exam C is not less than 3 (out of 10) and the weighted mark of all three midterm exams is not less than 5 (out of 10);
  • the mark of the final exam covering the whole course (to be scheduled during the resit assessment period) is not less than 5 (out of 10). Only students who did not pass the course by continuous assessment can sit this exam.
