Evaluation
(B-ODISEE-H73805)
Explanation
| Assessment | Grading scale |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1-20/20 scale |
The examination consists partly (70% of the marks) of a written on-line examination. If there are multiple-choice or yes/no questions, correction for guessing is applied. If technical jargon is asked, it must be written correctly. To prepare, some sample questions will be made available via Toledo.
Part of the exam (30% of the marks) consists of the presentation of a group assignment with an individual oral defence.
If you have not completed all the components, no final mark can be calculated and the final mark of this OPO = NA.
If you obtain a mark of 7/20 or less on any component, the result of the OPO will be reduced to the result of the component with the lowest mark, in accordance with the Programme and Examination Regulations.
HAO: The same arrangement applies here, except that the exams are generally held on weeknights.
Information about retaking exams
The modalities are the same as during the first exam session. You will find further instructions on Toledo.
