Normal assessment period

Students shall choose either scheme A or scheme B.

There will be two types of assessment elements, both of individual character:
a) A semester-based assessment.
b) A written, closed-book examination.
The semester-based assessment and the written examination will have the same weight in the final grade.
If the grade of the written examination ranks below 8, it will be the final grade.

Scheme B
The final grade is the grade of the written, closed-book examination.

Repeat Examination Period

If the grade of the written examination ranks below 8, it will be the final grade.
