peer agreement (net): +1ordinary examination Explanation: In Spain, the university student is usually given two opportunities in any given academic year to pass the subjects taken. The first is termed an ordinary examination (convocatoria ordinaria), the second an extraordinary examination (convocatoria extraordinaria). Only those students who have failed in the ordinary examination may take the extraordinary one; that is, the latter is a re-sit.

peer agreement (net): +1first sitting Explanation: The first sitting of an exam. HTH Sheila http://www.uax.es/internacional/guia/ingles/indice.html http://www.ierm.ed.ac.uk/cw2h/contina.htm In other words, if you achieve less than 35% in the average for in-course components, or less than 35% in the examination paper, then you will fail the course in June (or in your first sitting of the exam, whether June or September) even if you have an aggregate of 40%. You will then have to resit the exam in September. If you failed at the first sitting because you had less than 35% for in-course marks, then in September you will have to complete additional work in place of the in-course material. |
