Practical Assessment

The Practical Assessment will be obtained as follows:

• 10 points per lab session. Total = 70 points. See below for details on how the lab sessions are graded.

If you get less than 30 out of 70 points in the practical assessment, you will get a grade of 'F' in your first examination. In this case, you will be given a second chance to improve your practical assessment score. If your score after the second try is at least 30 out of 70, you will become eligible for a retake exam (korduseksam).

Conceptual Assessment

The Conceptual Assessment will consist of an exam worth 30 points. Students who get less than 10 out of 30 in this exam, will get a grade of 'F', regardless of their Practical Assessment score. This same rule will apply for the resit (korduseksam).

Final Score and Grade

The scores of the Practical Assignments and the Exam will be added. This cumulated score will be translated into a grade between A and F according to the standard university scale:

• A: >90 .. 100
• B: >80 .. 90
• C: >70 .. 80
• D: >60 .. 70
• E: >50 .. 60
• F: 0 .. 50
