The only exception to this rule is described in the complementary regulation of the Faculty of Engineering Technology to article 66 in the Regulations on Education and Examinations.

2. Calculation of the published component marks

The component mark for lectures is a whole number between 0 and 20 and based on an oral exam with written preparation ánd some (brief) questions to be answered in writing. The student's knowledge and insight is assessed.
Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the course matter and should be able to apply it as a future engineer.
The exam is closed book. The student brings a simple scientific calculator to the exam;

Seminars

The component mark for seminars is a whole number between 0 and 20 and based on participation during contact moments and evaluation of a mini-HACCP study based on an oral presentation (including motivation) and written report.
Sometimes guest lectures are given and/or participation in a conference is asked.  Students will be informed in advance via Toledo about when those events will take place.
