7.3.4. Overall review exercise

The student must make a pass a final exam.



Every three weeks students may do an assignment which will be collected by the teacher. During the course duration, 5 practical assignments will be done. The evaluation of these tasks count for 15% of the calcification of marks of this subject.



Student may also do a workshop which will be collected too. The evaluation of this work count for 15% of the calcification of marks of this subject.



Although, you may have an average of 5 out of 10 between the exam, practical tasks and workshop. It should be noted that students must still achieve a 5 out of 10 in the exam alone. All practical tasks must be completed in class and not outside. They’ll be collected in the end of the class.

Exam: 70%

Practical tasks: 15%

Workshop: 15%



Although, you may have an average of 5 out of 10 between the exam and practical tasks, it should be noted that students must still achieve a 5 out of 10 in the exam alone. All practical tasks must be completed in class and not outside. They’ll be collected in the end of the class. In the event that you cannot make it to class, remember the practical tasks are just a way to help the student, but they are not obligatory.
