The information on assessment activities and their weighting is a guide. The subject's lecturer will provide full information when teaching begins.

Review

At the time of handing in the final grade prior to the minutes, the teacher will communicate in writing a date and time of review. The review of the various assessment activities will be agreed between the teacher and the student.

Recovery Students who have taken part in activities whose weight is equivalent to 66.6% (two thirds) or more of the final grade and who have obtained a weighted average grade of 3.5 or more will be able to access the recovery. At the time of handing in the final grade prior to the course report, the teacher will communicate in writing the recovery procedure. The teacher can propose a recovery activity for each activity suspended or not presented or can group several activities into one. In case of recovery, the maximum mark that the student can obtain is a 5.

Consideration of "not evaluable" A "non-assessable" will be assigned when the assessment evidence provided by the student is equivalent to a maximum of one quarter of the total grade of the subject.

Irregularities in assessment activities In case of irregularity (plagiarism, copying, impersonation, etc.) in an evaluation activity, the rating of this evaluation activity will be 0. In case of irregularities in various evaluation activities, the final grade of the subject will be 0. Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (such as plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.
