Assessment

You can score up to 10 points on this course.

You have to participate in all assessment components. For at most one assessment component you can get an "aanvullende toetsing".

Assessment components

The course has 5 assessment components:

  • lab 1. Grade: pass/resit exam ("aanvullende toetsing")
  • lab 2. Grade: pass/resit exam ("aanvullende toetsing")
  • lab 3. Grade: pass/resit exam ("aanvullende toetsing")
  • midterm exam. Grade: between 1 and 10.
  • final exam. Grade: between 1 and 10.

The exam grade is the grade for the midterm exam * 0.4 + the grade for the final exam * 0.6. If the exam grade is at least 5, and you passed all labs, the bonus points score (see below, maximized on 1) is added to this grade to obtain the final course grade (maximizing on 10).

Different from earlier versions in the course you do not get a grade anymore for the labs, but you have to pass them. We will asks questions about the labs in the exam though. For that reason, the exams take slightly longer.

Aanvullende toetsing

If you passed all the labs, but your final exam grade is 4 or more but too low to pass the course, or you missed one of the exams with a good reason you can take a resit. If you failed one lab or missed one lab for a good reason, we will organise a resit exam with questions about all of the labs. In all other cases you cannot pass the course anymore.

Bonus points

  • We will organize activities at which you can earn a bonus point by participating
  • Each bonuspoint adds 0.05 to your grade, with a maximum total of 1 point
