Evaluation
Evaluation: Microeconomics (B-KUL-D2Q45a)
Explanation
Evaluation caracteristics
The exam is a written, closed-book exam.
The group assignment will be announced in the lectures and on TOLEDO.
Determination of the final result
The final result is calculated and communicated as a whole number on a scale of 20 and is computed as follows. If the student passes the exam, then the final result is the sum of the result for the exam (on 15 points) and the result for the group assignment (on 5 points). If the student does not pass the exam, then the final result is the result for the exam (on 15 points) multiplied with 20/15. If the group assignment is not taken, 0/5 applies to that part.
Information about retaking exams
Only the exam can be retaken, not the group assignment. The evaluation and determination of the final result for the retake exam will be the same as in the first exam period.
