Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

It is essential to obtain a note above 10/20 for both components of PSYC-E4025 to be awarded a pass mark Therefore, there will be no average between a failure score (<10/20) on one component and a pass mark (> 10/20) on the other part of this course. If you fail one of the two components, a non-convertible failure score will automatically be awarded for the full course, and you will have to resume the course the following year. However, you will be exempted from repeating the successful component, and we will postpone for you the partial score obtained. If you have a grade of> 10/20 for the lecture AND for practical work, then an arithmetic mean will be calculated between these two marks.
