Course options
At the beginning of the academic year, students, together with their group supervisor, make course selections for the entire academic year and draw up a schedule for the first semester. Selections can be changed if necessary by consulting with the supervisor.
When making course choices, it is important to make a long-term plan for the entire upper secondary school. It is a good idea to use the course tray and study guide as a guide. It is also a good idea to discuss your choices with your supervisor, group supervisor and subject teachers.
The recommended number of courses per semester is an average of six (6) courses, or approximately 30 courses per academic year during the first two years and approximately 15-20 courses during the third year.
When choosing courses, it is a good idea to consider the following:
- time spent on upper secondary school studies (average of six courses per semester in a three-year program)
- the total number of courses throughout high school, distributed as evenly as possible
- own interests, e.g. language choices
- What subjects do you plan to take in your matriculation examination?
- Does the graduation papers spread?
- the impact of subject choices on postgraduate studies
- Are you taking an exam for a course or taking a course at another institution?
Participation in a course can be cancelled within one week of the course starting date by notifying the course teacher. After that, the course cannot be interrupted without the permission of the student or principal. Both passed and failed courses can be retaken. The grade already obtained will not be reduced when studying again.
Independent study
A student can also complete a high school course by studying independently. This is mainly the case when the student cannot attend the course lessons for a justified and acceptable reason. Please note that completing the course independently requires a considerable amount of work and, in particular, a good study approach and mastery of study methods.
Independent completion of a course must always be discussed with the relevant teacher first, and permission must also be requested from him/her using the independent completion form. The course exams may only be attempted once. The completion permit is valid for one year, during which time all partial completions must be completed.
It is not possible to take the only compulsory course of the subject independently, nor the first courses. When the course content is well mastered and the other partial assignments prescribed by the teacher have been approved, you register for the exam (exam) in the usual way through the office. The subject to be examined can be taken either during the final week or on the day of the re-examination.
Finals week
The exams are held in the final weeks of the semester.
A separate, non-standard schedule will be followed during final weeks. A separate schedule will be published well in advance of final weeks, indicating the dates of each course's exam and preparation class. Lessons for subjects that do not have exams will also run normally during final weeks, but the schedule may differ from the standard schedule.
Absence from the exam
You can only be absent from a course exam for an acceptable reason and you must notify the student in advance of your absence. You must provide a statement of illness as soon as possible. If you do not provide a statement, you will not be entitled to a re-examination. Any other impediment must be discussed with the teacher.
Re-examination
In a retake exam, it is possible to take an exam that you were unable to take during the final week for an acceptable reason. You can also increase the grade of four you received in the course exam during the final week. In a retake exam, exams for courses that have been studied independently, i.e. exams, are usually also taken. Retake exams are 3 hours long, like course exams, and only one exam can be taken during one retake exam.
To register for a retake, fill out the registration form and return it to the office. Note: You must register for retake exams no later than a week before the exam date!
