Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

Both, the “assignment” and the “final exam” are mandatory components that must be taken in order to receive a final course grade. Failure to participate in either of these components will result in being marked absent for the entire course.

The assignment cannot be resumed in the second session, nor will a replacement assignment be organised. Consequently, if the assignment is not completed during the semester, a grade of absence will be assigned for this component and thus for the entire course in both the first and second exam sessions. The grade on the assignment is transferred from the first to the second session, but is not transferred to the following academic year.

The assignment component is a group assignment. Detailed instructions related to the assignment will be provided via the digital learning platform during the semester.
