Calculation formula of final grade

Regular exam period

Assessment:

The final exam will have two parts, each worth 10 points.

The partial credits can be obtained through 3 home work assignments of 8 points (3+3+2) and a quizz (2 points).

The student has to decide while taking the final exam, whether he/she intends to substitute the evaluation of the first part of the exame by the partial credits.

Concretely,

P1, P2	points obtained in part 1 and 2 of the exam.
C	partial credits, the sum of the points obtained through the homework assignments and the quiz.
d	the decission of the student: d=1 : the points P1  should be considered. d=0: the points C should be considered.

The final score is

Final score = P2 + d*P1 + (1-d)*C

Make-up exam

Final Score:

The make-up exam consists of two parts, each worth 10 points.

The student that has previously not passed the course can substitute the score of the first part of the exam by partial credits.

The student that has already passed the course and intends to improve the grade can not substitute any part of the exam by partial credits and must take the exam as a whole.

None of the scores of the parts of the regular exam can be used in the make-up exam.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Any student asking for an exam because of special conditions of his registration will do a written exam, but possibly, only, after an extra written or oral examination, in order to check if the student has a minimum knowledge about the unit so that he can do the special exam.

Classification improvement

The student that has already passed the course and intends to improve the grade can not substitute any part of the exam by partial credits and must take the exam as a whole.

A student that has passed the course in a previous year and wants to increase the score can only do so by doing the exam.
