Further on evaluation

The final evaluation will be based on a written examination (counting 70%) and the project work (counting 30%) based on % fulfillment. Final grading will be from A to F. Both the written exam and project must be passed to receive a grade in the course. If you fail one of the parts, this must be re-taken to pass the course.

Permitted examination aids, support material code C: Specified printed and hand-written support material is allowed. A specific basic calculator is allowed. In addition, calculator Casio fx-991EX and fx-991CW are allowed.

Re-sit Exam

The written school exam can be re-taken as a re-sit in August. In the event of a re-sit examination, the examination may be changed to an oral examination.
