Additional info regarding evaluation

For dividing the students in groups and assignments, students must register on time and correctly according to the guidelines (communicated through Canvas). If a student fails to do so, they can no longer participate in the activity and this is considered an illegal absence. Late, substantiated assignment submissions will be assigned an adjustment factor of 0.5 to 0.7 (depending on the severity of the delay according to the deadline).

The result of an examination component is automatically carried over to the second sitting if the result is at least 10/20. A student cannot waive the automatic transfer of the partial result. A result of an examination part cannot be transferred to the next academic year.

In case the student obtained a grade lower than 8/20 on a part, the weighted average is deviated and the lowest partial result counts as the examination result.

Allowed unsatisfactory mark

The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
