Assessment
Oral examination. Closed book.
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different
courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain
subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical
calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new
marks can be awarded on consensus.
Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in
the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one
should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be
insufficient, if the student didn't pass the partim that is considered to be
important for certain subcompetencies.
