Calculation formula of final grade
The content of this course will be divided into two parts, each one evaluated by a test graded for 10 values.
The 2nd test takes place at the time scheduled for the 1st examination season. At the same time, the student may choose to repeat de first test.
1st evaluation season:
- The final grade of the 1st evaluation season is the sum of the 2 tests, except in the following cases.
- Grades greater than 18 will only be awarded after completing an additional (written) test.
2nd evaluation season:
- In the 2nd evaluation season exam, the students can repeat again the two tests or only one of them.
- The grade of each part is the best between the grades obtained in the corresponding tests in the two seasons.
- The final grade of the 2nd evaluation season is the sum of the grades of the two parts, except in the following cases.
- Students who have obtained a classification of 8.5 or more and less than 9.5 will have access to a complementary test to decide on their approval (with 10 values) or failure (with 9 values).
- Grades greater than 18 will only be awarded after completing an additional (written) test.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
The examinations required under special statutes shall consist of a written test that may be preceded by an oral test that will decide if the student will have access to the written test.
Classification improvement
Students wishing to take a classification improvement exam in the normal season will have to complete the 2 tests and their final grade is the sum of the scores of the two tests.
Students wishing to improve their grades at the time of appeal will have to take the 2 tests on the day marked for the resource exam and the final grade is the sum of the grading of these two tests.
