Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Morrocan high school transcript
French term or phrase: SE/20
The term appears as one of a series of column headings for a Marrocan high school transcript for the bac. Thus one has, reading across the top, "matière", "Note CC/20", "Note EX/20", "*Note SE/20", "CF," "Note Pond."
For the first course the grades are 14.50 for "Note CC/20), 14.00 for "Note EX 20", 14.13 for "*Note SE/20, 02 for "CF" and 28.26 for "Note pond." The asterisk preceding "Note SE/20" refers to a footnote that reads (*) SE = 0,25 * CC + 0.75 * EX, the asterisks here presumably being the alternative multiplication sign for "x". All very clear, and the math adds up, but what I don't know is what "SE" actually stands for. I hate to leave an acronym untranslated, even when the basic meaning is made clear as it is by this footnote. (I am assuming, by the way, the "CC" refers to grades obained during the course -- quizzes, papers, etc --and "EX" to the final exam. I'd appreciate confirmation/correction on that point too.)

sous-ensemble/20
Explanation:
CC=contrôle continu that is all the grades obtained for tests taken along the year. EX= exam, i.e. final exam. SE=sous-ensemble, that is the sum of the CC grade, which is weighted by a factor of 0.25, and the EX grade, weighted by a factor of 0.75, and this in a given subject which is itself weighted by a factor CF - meaning "coefficient"(in the present case its value is 2). I guess CF is proportionate to the importance of the subject considered.

agree  sueaberwoman: Yes, that's all definitely correct -- the only part I hadn't come across before in grading being the "SE". Could you give a source? Pond. is pondérée BTW.
