Further Notes About Assessment Methods

1st Step: Calculation of the intra-semester grade
50% of Midterm and % 50 of Laboratory Exam Grades
(Midterm Exam X 0.50) + (Lab Exam X 0.50) = (A)
Clinical Practice grade X 0.50 = (B)

2nd Step: Calculation of the end of semester grade
(A + B) X 0.50 = (C)
Final grade X 0.50 = (D)

End of Semester Achievement = 50% intra-semester grade + 50% final grade = C + D (Must be at least 60 over 100 full grades)
Minimal Final grade: Must be at least 50 over 100 full grades

Make-up exam Grade = 50% intra-semester grade + 50% of the make-up grade (Must be at least 60 over 100 full grades)
Minimal make-up grade: Must be at least 50 over 100 full grades
