Further on evaluation
The final assessment consists of an individual written part and practical production part. A final grade is given for the two parts.
The written assignment counts as 1/2 of the final grade. The production work counts as 1/2 of the final grade. All components of the assessment must be passed. If a student fails one component of the exam, this component must be retaken to complete the course. The assessment of the component that was passed will remain until both components of the exam are passed. After this the final grade will be calculated. If the practical component of the exam is to be retaken, the scheduling of this will be contingent upon the resources of the Department.
