Grading and Marking

Grades are very important both for teachers and students; for the former they give feedback on how well students understood the course, while for the latter they serve as a record of achievement and open doors to future courses and careers.

For information on exam and assessment regulations at EPFL, the Assessment Handbook for Teachers is a convenient summary of relevant rules and directives, as well as some practical and logistical advice on (for example) scheduling exams, invigilation, marking schemes and dealing with cheating and plagiarism.
