Each module has its own way of assessing students. We refer you to the LANG-S-001 course on the Virtual University for details of how each module is assessed.
Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)
The mark for each module counts for 1/4 of the final mark.
- If a student obtains less than 10/20 in the final grade (weighted average of the 4 modules), he/she must repeat just the module(s) in which he/she obtained less than 10/20.
- If a student is absent from a module assessment, he/she will be awarded 0 for that module and this mark will be included in the calculation of the average final mark.
- If a student obtains at least 10/20 in the final mark, he/she have passed the teaching unit.
