|
| Conditions | Participation in both parts of the evaluation (continuous assessment and open book exam) is a condition to obtain a final grade for this course in both the first and the second attempt examination.
The grade for the continuous assessment remains valid for a possible delayed first attempt examination (so-called catch-up examination). |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If you did not obtain a result for the continuous assessment, you cannot receive a final grade in either the first or the second examination period on the basis of the open book exam alone. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | First attempt examination: 50 % of the final grade is based on continuous assessment during the education period and the other 50% on an open book exam during the (first) examination period (cf. further explanation in the course book).
(with a proviso) For students who take part in the H. Sinzheimer Moot Court Competition:
First attempt examination: 50% of the final grade will be based on the written conclusions; the other 50% will be based on the oral plea, assessed through a rehearsal pleading which will be organised before the actual Moot Court Competition takes place.
As continuous assessment is key to this course, it is necessary that students take part in all activities throughout the study period. Should students not be able to be present throughout the whole study period, e.g. because of participation in the Erasmus exchange programme, they should get in touch with the teaching staff well ahead of the start of the course (preferably before Christmas holidays): sara.vancleef@uhasselt.be. The teaching staff decides whether the absence of the student during a part of the study period can be made up by an alternative assignment.
In consultation with the Education Management Team and the Student Administration, the lecturer determines the schedule and the examination format for a possible catch-up exam. The examination format may deviate from the examination format used during the regular examination period. The schedule and examination format will be communicated to the student after the request for a catch-up exam has been approved. |
