IIA Evaluation
Continuous assessment
All mandatory exercises and assignments must be graded as “passed” in order to participate in the final exam.
Grades (A-F) with F-fail will be based on
final written exam (60%)
mandatory assignments (distributed over two semesters):
6 assignments (2 group works and 4 individual works) (20%)
2 case projects (group work) (20%)
We reserve the rights for making any changes to the contents and plans.
