Exam dates and re-exam possibilities

Final test on Thursday 10.3.2022

Re-exam can be taken within half a year after the course has ended. Students have two attempts. The new result (only if better than the original) replaces then the points for the written exam (max 60 points). The points for the continuous assessment (max 20 points) and for the video assignment (max 20 points) can’t be improved afterwards.

If a student wouldn’t pass the course although s/he has done all the assignments and participated the final exam, there is a special re-test on Wed 16.3.2022. (This option is given to ensure that everybody could legitimately enroll in the next course level, beginning already in the end of March 2022.) Also a student who couldn’t, due to illness (only with doctor’s certificate!), participate the final test, can use this re-take option.


If a student didn’t even try his/her best to pass the course, or would like to improve the grade, s/he can take a re-test first later in spring or in early autumn weeks. In this re-test, it is (for technical reasons) not possible to use any material. Please, contact the teacher to get the possible dates.
