Students cannot pass this course if they obtain a mark of 8/20 or less for either (1) the translation into Dutch or (2) the translation into English. The lowest mark is the module mark.

If a student passes one part but fails the other then the final mark in the second examination session will correspond to the total average of that part for which the student successfully passed in the first examination period and that part for which a written exam was held during the second session. If a student again scores less than 8/20 for one part , the lowest mark is then the final mark.
