Further on evaluation

Compulsory activity from the previous semester can be approved by the department by repeating the course if there have been no significant changes in the program later.

The assessment (A-F) in this course is based on:

  • a written "school exam" Inspera which counts for 60% of the total grade
  • and a group assignment submitted in Inspera which counts for 40% of the total grade.
  • Students must pass both the "school exam" and the group assignment.

Allowed exam aids: All printed and hand-written support material is allowed. All calculators are allowed.

Re-sit exam in August. In the event of a postponed examination (re-sit examination), the written examination may be changed to an oral exam.

Continuation and voluntary repetition / improvement can be carried out for some sub-evaluations without having to reassess both sub-evaluations in a topic (on the condition that the subject has not changed the assessment system). There is an opportunity to complain about partial assessments in this topic before all sub-evaluations have been completed.
