Assessment comments

It is a prerequisite to present a supervised project if the pupil wants to sit for the exam. It is necessary to have a minimum of a 4/10 to calculate the average mark and pass. Instructions for projects are in Moodle.

There is no difference in evaluation in the 1st and 2nd opportunity.
