Eligibility for exams

Attendance to classes

Calculation formula of final grade

Students have to do two assignments (FM1) and a final exam (FM2).
Final Mark will be based on the following formula: (FM=0.FM1+0.5FM2).
The themes that students have worked on the assignments will not be tested in the final exam.
Students have to reach a minimum grade of 7 out of 20 in the final exam.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

An exam which will cover all of the themes of the course

Classification improvement
