Evaluation Methodology
Continuous Assessment:
Students who choose to take continuous assessment will be subject to two written tests, each weighted at 50%. In continuous assessment, obtaining a grade lower than 8 points on either test will result in immediate admission to the final exam.
Obtaining a grade between 8 and 12 points on either test will result in an oral exam.
If a student obtains a grade higher than 12 points on the continuous assessment tests, they are exempt from taking the final exam.
Non-Continuous Assessment:
Students admitted to the final exam take a written exam and are "Approved" if they obtain 10 points.
In the resit period, the student is "Approved" if they obtain 10 points.
In any assessment period, if there is suspicion of fraud (plagiarism or copying), Article 21, § 5 of the Academic Regulations will apply. Fraud will be suspected whenever there is evidence of copying answers to exercises done in class or notes provided by the teacher, or suspicion of the use of artificial intelligence in the answers.
