Grading

The total grade for the course is the weighted average of the grades of all the exams in which one participates:

If one takes part only in the final exam:

Intermediate exam:	25%
Final exam:	75%

If one takes part only in the supplementary exam:

Intermediate exam:	25%
Supplementary exam:	75%

If one takes part in both the final and the supplementary exam, the better grade from either final or supplementary will be selected.

Intermediate exam:	25%
Final exam:	75%	OR	Supplementary exam:	75%

For passing, the weighted average must be better than 4.1. As an exception to the rules above, the following combinations of results are sufficient for passing (with a grade of at least 4.0), even if the weighted average is worse than 4.1:

4.0 or better in the intermediate exam, and
4.0 or better in at least one of the final and supplementary exams
5.0 in the intermediate exam, and
3.7 or better in at least one of the final and supplementary exams
