Other comments and second exam session

For students who attend classes regularly but fail the continuous assessment: If the sum of all your grades does not add up to 50%, you will have to take the resit exam which will consist of a 20 question test (20 marks) + 4 short essay questions (80 marks). The date of the exam will be registered on Moodle.

Regular attendance means not missing more than 5 classes.

Students who do not attend classes regularly will be asked to do the following:

  • A 20-question test based on the texts discussed in class, that is all the texts in your dossier and those on Moodle. (20 marks)
  • You will have to take part in one of the regular oral presentations and write the summary (See Moodle for instructions). The class presentation will take place on the date agreed by your group. (40 marks)
  • You will be required to write a final essay in the exam. The subject of the essay will be based on the material studied throughout the course. (40 marks)
