Evaluation
Evaluation: Onclin Chair Lectures II (B-KUL-B2B51a)
Explanation
The grading scale of this course unit is pass/fail.
1) Presence during contact moments
In order to pass, the student must have been present during the academic session as well as the five additional lectures. The lectures that are organized outside the intensive teaching weeks can be followed online or viewed afterwards via the recordings. Students prove their attendance through attendance lists
If the student cannot participate for serious reasons, he or she must inform the faculty and a replacement assignment will be provided.
2) Written exam
During the examination period, a written exam takes place in the form of multiple choice questions.
These questions include the learning material of the 5 extra lectures. No guessing correction is applied and each question has the same weighting.
When the student has 50% or more correct answers, the end result results in a PASS.
Information about retaking exams
Students who did not pass the course due to absence during the mandatory contact moments must submit a replacement assignment before the faculty deadline for papers in the re-examination period. The replacement assignment is determined on an individual basis based on the frequency of their absence. If these students have not yet passed the written exam, they must re-take this exam in the third examination period.
Students who were present during the contact moments but did not pass the written exam only need to re-take the written exam. The modalities for this exam are the same as for the first exam.
