Note: Remember that both parts of the course need to be passed in order to pass the whole course!!
Examples
- If a student gets 27 points in the exam and 32 points in the assignments, then the final points he/she will obtain are 27 + 32 x 0.2 = 27 + 6.4 = 33.4. This student will pass the assignments with G, pass the exam with G or 3 (depending on the university), and pass the course with G or 3.
- If a Chalmers student gets 36 points in the exam and 47 points in the assignments, then the final points he/she will obtain are 36 + 47 x 0.2 = 36 + 9.4 = 45.4. This student will pass the assignments with G, pass the exam with 3, and pass the course with 4.
- If a GU student gets 42 points in the exam and 52 points in the assignments, then the final points he/she will obtain are 42 + 52 x 0.2 = 42 + 10.4 = 52.4. This student will pass the assignments with G, pass the exam with G, and pass the course with VG.
Older Students
- Students who registered before VT13: Since NO re-exams are
offered for that course, these students MUST re-register in the new
version of the course and follow the NEW examination rules.
- Students who registered in VT13 or VT14 have obligatory
assignments and the final grade in the course is that of the exam.
Students who registered in VT13 or VT14 and that have NOT produced any points in the course could re-register to the course now and follow the NEW examination rules.
Students who registered in VT13 or VT14 and that HAVE produced some points in the course MUST follow the examination rules corresponding to VT13 or VT14. - Students who registered in VT15 or later have exactly the same examination rules as those registered this year.
