Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading


Courses taken by a student have to be pre-approved by the student’s advisor every semester. At least 70% attendance for the theoretical classes and at least 80% attendance for the applied classes including workshop studies are obligatory to be able to attend the final exam. Students must attend at least one mid-term exam and a final exam for each course. 40% of the mid-term exam (homework, lab classes, quizzes, multiple choice tests) plus 60% of the final exam is accounted for evaluating the student’s performance in a course. Students should get at least 70 points out of 100 for each course. A student is considered successful for a course when he/she scores AA, BA, BB or CB.
