For a detailed description of the performance assessments during the academic term: Summative academic assessment: A max. of 100 (50-50) points can be obtained from the two midterms. The end-of-semester grade is awarded on the basis of a combined total of 51 points from the two papers.
Percentage of performance assessments, conducted during the study period, within the rating
- 1st midterm: 50
- 2nd midterm: 50
- total: 100
Percentage of exam elements within the rating
Conditions for obtaining a signature, validity of the signature
In order to obtain a signature, the student must achieve at least 50% of the points available under point 3.3.

Retake and late completion
There is no minimum requirement for each midterm, either of them can be made up at the time announced as a make-up in advance during the academic term according to the announced timetable. Either of the two midterms may be corrected, but in this case the new result will be taken into account as the new result of the previous and the new result. If the student is unable to obtain a grade other than unsatisfactory by making up, the student will not be allowed to repeat more times in the semester in question.
