De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Schriftelijk bepaalt 100% van het eindcijfer
Binnen de categorie Examen Schriftelijk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
- Written Exam
met een wegingsfactor 50
en aldus 50% van het totale eindcijfer.
- Assignments
met een wegingsfactor 50
en aldus 50% van het totale eindcijfer.
- Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie
The final grade (100%) on the course will be weighted as follows:
- Part 1. Written exam in January (50%)
- Part 2. Written work, consisting of various assignments, individually or in group (50%)
Note: The written work may be supplemented with one or more in-class presentations. Should this be the case, then this grade will count towards Part 2 of the final grade.
Important:
Students must participate in all parts (i.e., written exam and all components of written work) to obtain a final grade on the course.
In order to obtain an end score on the course that includes the grades on written work, the student should obtain at least 35% (or 7/20) on the written exam. If the grade is less than 35% or 7/20, then this grade will count towards the overall grade of the course.
In the second session, the grade on group work will be maintained, while the individual work and written exam will have to be retaken.
Outgoing Erasmus students who follow the course need to contact the course holder at the beginning of the academic year in order to agree upon an arrangement.
