Please note:
The final grade of the course is based on the parts "cognition" and "language". The student must obtain a mark of at least 10/20 in each part of the examination.
In case of failure in one of the parts, the final mark will correspond to the failing mark.
In other cases (passing or failing both parts), the final mark will be calculated on the basis of all the questions in both parts (overall average).
For the second session, there is no carry-over of marks and the student must re-sit both parts. In other words, passing one of the two parts in a previous examination session does not result in a waiver of that part when the examination is retaken.
