Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

Construction of the note (including the weighting of partial notes)
1. Single test with a single grade
o No partial exemption from activities within the same AA.
o A partial exemption is only possible for a full AA: either for the Anatomy AA or for the Embryology AA.
2. Calculating the grade
o AA Anatomy: 70% (Prof. Beyer)
o AA Embryology: 30% (Prof. Ladrière)
3. Restriction
o The weighted calculation (70% – 30%) is only performed if each AA obtains a minimum score of 8/20.
o If a score is lower than 8/20 in one of the AAs, this score will directly constitute the final EU grade.
