11 STUDENT EVALUATION AND SUPPORT

PART 11.1

STUDENT EVALUATION

Article 105

General Principles of Student Evaluation

(1) This part of the Internal System regulates the rules for the evaluation of students so that unjustified differences do not arise in similar cases.

(2) Student evaluation is carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the specific Internal Regulation 1 and 2.

(3) Student evaluation is based on the minimum requirements for subject completion, final thesis defence, and completion of the study programme. Depending on the degree of quality of fulfilment of the given prerequisites, the student is awarded a grade A to E, or a pass grade in accordance with the evaluation conditions in relation to the learning objective specified in the subject information sheet of the given subject. The student is evaluated with an FX or fail if they have not met the evaluation requirements in accordance with the evaluation conditions in view of the learning objectives set out in the subject information sheet for the subject at the required level. In the same way, the student is evaluated with a grade of FX or fail if they have submitted a final thesis that shows demonstrable signs of plagiarism.

Article 106

The Roles of the Sponsor and Co-Sponsors in the Evaluation of Students

(1) The Supervisor and Co-Supervisors shall oversee and be responsible for the consistency, fairness and predictability of the evaluation of students in the study programme for which they are responsible, and may give appropriate guidance and recommendations to heads of workplaces and examiners to this end.

(2) In the event of disputes concerning evaluation, the Sponsor or the Co-Sponsor designated by the Sponsor shall consider any objections.

(3) The evaluation conditions, the learning objectives, the subject outline and the recommended reading in the information sheet of the subject are decisive in evaluating objections to evaluation.
