Additional info regarding evaluation

A weighted average of the various components is made on the condition that the student scores at least 50% for each of the components. If the student obtains a mark lower than 50% for one of the components, the final mark for the entire study component is equal to the lowest mark. The partial results of the various components are transferred to the second examination period if the result is at least 50%. In this case (i.e. only if the student does not obtain the credit), the student who still wishes to resit one or more examination components can send an e-mail to the lecturer no later than before the start of the second examination period. Once the student has reported that he wishes to waive his partial mark, he irrevocably loses this partial mark. If the student, with a result of at least 50% on a component, wishes to transfer this partial result to the next academic year, he must contact the titular holder (at the latest before the start of the first examination period), who must grant permission for this.
The written exam consists of open questions and multiple choice questions.
Each component (Gynaecology/Obstetrics/Urology) has an equal weighting: an average of 20 is then made.

Allowed unsatisfactory mark
The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
