Successful completion of the two assignments (at least 8 out of 20).

Calculation formula of final grade

Written exam, 50%
Assignments, 50%
(Minimum of 8/20 in both components)

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

All the students must complete the assignments.

Classification improvement

A second opportunity for the exam is available.
Distributed evaluation cannot by its nature be improved.
