The language of instruction and assessment is English. Attendance in Continuous Assessment (CA) is mandatory, except under exceptional circumstances. CA is used to evaluate the course, based on the student's work in the laboratory and assignments related to the course content. There is a Global Assessment (GA) exam on the official date set by the School Board, for students who have not passed CA and wish to pass the course. This GA exam will be graded from 0 to 10 points and includes all course topics along with concepts and techniques explained in the assignments. To pass, the student must score at least five points. Students who wish to improve their CA grade may also take this exam, in which case the final course grade will be the higher of the CA grade or the GA grade. Throughout the semester, students will receive feedback on their progress in CA, along with the grades of each assignment and associated tests. Submitting any assignment or test constitutes official participation in CA, implying that the student has registered for the course even if they do not take the final exam. The extraordinary opportunity at the end of the academic year will consist of an exam for students who have not passed either CA or GA. The course grade will be the grade of this extraordinary exam. This exam will be graded from 0 to 10 points and includes all course topics. To pass, the student must score at least five points. In conducting academic activities for this course, the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is permitted and encouraged. Its use should be ethical, critical, and responsible. If GAI is used, any results it provides should be critically evaluated, and any citations or references generated should be carefully verified. Additionally, the use of such tools must be declared. Failure to declare their use will be considered another form of plagiarism. If plagiarism is detected in any tests or assignments, the final grade will be FAIL (0) and the incident will be reported to the school administration for appropriate action. |
