Remember to sign the grading list
Course leaders, and when relevant external examiners, must sign the grading list using blue ink pens and return it to the ISS Office by the deadline.
Calculating the grade
Each examination can only be graded in terms of full letter grades! That is, one cannot set plusses or minuses next to the grade. If there are two examination parts, the total grade shall be calculated on the following basis:
The letter grade is transformed into a number according to the following scale:
A = 65
B = 64
C = 63
D = 62
E = 61
Weighting grades
If two examination parts are weighted equally, the total grade shall be the average of the two grades weighted upwards, i.e. a student awarded with one A and one C (65+63) will receive a total grade 65+63/2 ≈ 64 = B.
The total grade therefore depends on the weighting of the examination parts. If a written exam (grade C) accounts for 60% and the oral exam (grade B) counts for 40%, the total is calculated in the following way:
C = 63 x 0,6 = 37,8
B = 64 x 0,4 = 25,6
Total = 63,4, i.e. C
Failing grade
If a candidate receives a failing grade (F) in one examination part, they receive a failing grade in the course.
When informing students of grades
Examiners are bound by these evaluation rules as stated in the Act of Universities and University Colleges. We therefore urge course leaders and examiners to be careful when informing the students about their grade on various exams. If a student is informed about getting an A on a term paper, and a B on a written exam (both weighted equally), they cannot be given a total grade of B even if this grade is more just overall.
