Further on evaluation

Portfolio evaluation is the basis for the final grade. Parts of the portfolio are final written exam (70%) and laboratory work (30%). The result for each part is given in percentage units, while evaluation of the entire portfolio (the final grade) is given as a letter. To pass the course, all parts of the exam must be evaluated and given a passed grade level. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral. In the case that the student receives an F/Fail as a final grade after both ordinary and re-sit exam, then the student must retake the course in its entirety. Submitted work that counts towards the final grade will also have to be retaken.
