Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 30% of the final mark.
Practical Exam determines 70% of the final mark.

Within the Oral Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

Mondeling examen with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 30% of the final mark.

Note: Mondeling examen met schriftelijke voorbereiding (min. 15 minuten). Studenten kunnen niet slagen als ze het standaardnederlands niet beheersen. De schriftelijke voorbereiding van het mondelinge examen dient uitsluitend als steun voor de studenten, wordt aan het eind van het examen ongewijzigd afgegeven maar wordt niet beoordeeld.

Within the Practical Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

Portfolio with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 70% of the final mark.

Note: Portfolio. Enkel voor de tweede zittijd wordt de groepspresentatie die deel uitmaakt van het portfolio (in de vorm van een PPT), vervangen door een individuele presentatie met ppt van min.10 - max.15 min. Voor de tweede zittijd moeten alle opdrachten binnengeleverd zijn voor 31 juli.

Additional info regarding evaluation

Without a complete portfolio (70% of the points), the student is not allowed to the oral exam (30% of the points).

Only for the second examination period the group presentation which is part of the portfolio as a PPT presentation is replaced by an individual presentation with PPT of min. 10 - max. 15 minutes. All tasks for the second examination period must be handed in before 31st of July.

In a study manual provided by the lecturer at the start of the semester, the evaluation is detailed in a binding way.
