Exams based on theoric part (60%)
Activity based on practical part (30%)
An essay on each Course Field Practice (10%).
The NOT EVALUABLE corresponds to the delivery of less than 60% of the evaluable evidence.
A reassessment exam will take place at the end of the semester. The students entitled to a reassessment exam will be the students who have submitted all evaluable evidence and did not pass the exam. If they have a passed part and one failed, a reassessment exam will need to be taken for the fail part. Those who have not attended the exam or have not submitted the essays do not have the right to the reassessment exam. The global minimum mark to be entitled to the reassessment is 3. The reassessment exam will be allowed to a maximum of 5 marks.
Field practices can not be reassessed. Non-participation in-field practices without an adequate justification will result in a score of 0 for that practice.
Only the marks equal to or greater than 4.5 will be equal to each one of the evaluable evidence. The rest will have to go to reassessment.
Plagiarisms will be a rating of 0 of that evaluable evidence where the irregularity has occurred.
