Evaluation

 

Learning
outcome		 Assessment
activity		 Weight (%) It allows
test resit 		Minimum
required grade
RA1-RA5 Tasks and Report: Continuous Assessment 20% Yes 0
RA1-RA5 Individual written test (long answer tests) 80% Yes 5

 If the student did not get the minimum grade to weigh in any of the activities, the grade of the subject would be 4.9 out of 10 at most (fail).
