An optional mid-term written multiple-choice exam is proposed in January; an individual written work is required at Easter; the knowledge acquired during the practical exercises is also evaluated. These three estimations are included in the final note, which remains mainly based on the result of the oral examination.
The mark of the midterm exam in January will count for 20% of the June final mark if > or = 10/20. The mark will have no effect on the final grade if it doesn't reach 10/20 and the final exam will then be cumulative. |
