A rubric will be used for grading. The rubric will be available in the course guide or on the course specific Bright Space page.

Students should achieve a minimum grade of 6.0 to pass this course.

Grades 5,0 5,5 may be considered for a Repair. A Repair is provided when only one specific part (one Learning Objective) of the assignment is missing or insufficient. The student receives a well described written repair assignment. The assignment must be handed in by the student on Friday 12.00 h. in the white week between Q2 and Q3, thus in the week between academic weeks 2.10 and 3.1, or the first week of summer, thus week 5.1. This will be mentioned in the written repair assignment. The result of the repair assignment may only be Pass or Fail. In case of Pass a V is registered in Osiris. In case of a Fail the original grade between 5,0 and 5,5 is registered in Osiris.

In case of a final grade below 6,0 the student needs to reenroll for the course.
