Every work which has been finished and examined, is marked by the Professor by a number representing its merit, which number may be fractional.
This is multiplied by the number representing its importance, and the nearest whole number resulting from this product expresses the value of the examined work.
Every unfinished work receives a provisional value, and is then returned to the person executing it, and as soon as it has been completed a second evaluation is made, but only two-thirds of the difference between the first and second evaluations is added to the first; the same principle is applied to the works which have been valued below seven, or to those which have been amended or recommenced.
Every work which has not been executed by the student is marked 0; but the grounds for its non-execution are placed before the Jury of Examination.
In the event of two papers being so similar that it is evident one must have been copied from the other, and that it is not possible to decide which has been copied from the other, both are marked 0.
And on the other hand, if it is proved that there was no complicity between the authors of the two papers, the copied paper is the only one canceled.
At the end of each year’s study, the Council of the School makes a classification of the students of the two divisions.
Each of these classifications is formed of the following elements:—
