For various reasons, it is possible to fail assignments or major components (exam, group work) in this course. This page lists rules and procedures for re-exams and re-work.

1. Re-exam

Continuous exam: Students can hand in the exam even after the deadline, or resubmit in case of a failed attempt, but only three times in total. This is possible until before the next instance of the course is given, in which case students should then sign up for the regular exam.

However, the criteria for grading will be significantly stricter after the initial deadline or submission.

2. Making up for missed workshop or assignment

2.1 Missed workshop

Small essay, 4pg, that provides helpful input to project group. Required to get a passing grade in project.

3. Making up for failed group work in Iteration 1, 2, and 3

3.1 Failed R1

Since R1 is mainly about feedback, it is rare that a R1 submission has to be failed. The better the quality in R1, the better the feedback. Should R1 be submitted and failed, it should be some formal tasks to redo. In that case: Fix comments, resubmit, continue...

If a group does not submit in R1, the project is endangered for this academic year and we will follow up individually.

3.2 Failed R2

The main reason to fail R2 is that it is not good enough for peer-review, which in that case might have to be cancelled for this group (i.e. the review of their R2 is cancelled. The group would still have to review other R2 submissions).

Other than that, R1 considerations apply.

3.3 Failed R3

Since the project is about group work, we will not offer a re-examination (we cannot support the same learning outcomes outside of the course setup). If a group fails with R3, we need to investigate the reasons behind the failure.

Default: All members who failed have to redo project next year.
Exception 1: In case the group failed because of an issue that can be fixed in a minor revision with respect to one assessment criteria in the project description, supervisor and group agree on a deadline within the next 10 workdays. Only the selected assessment criteria will be re-assessed.
Exception 2: If the group or individual members of the group failed due to follow-ups on the individual assessment, individual rework may be assigned to those members. This rework will be an essay to be submitted within 10 workdays after assignment.
