Lisäkoe

Lisäkoe is a Finnish term that translates to "additional examination" or "resit examination." It typically refers to a supplementary test or exam offered to students who have not passed the original assessment or examination. The purpose of a lisäkoe is to provide students with another opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the course material and achieve a passing grade.

The availability and structure of lisäkokeet can vary significantly depending on the educational institution and the specific course. In some cases, a lisäkoe might be identical or very similar to the original exam, while in others, it may cover a broader scope or focus on areas where the student demonstrated weakness. The grading policy for a lisäkoe also differs; some institutions might average the scores of the original and the resit, while others will only consider the score of the lisäkoe.

Lisäkokeet are commonly found in higher education settings, such as universities and polytechnics, where academic rigor is emphasized. They are also present in some secondary education systems. The decision to offer a lisäkoe often rests with the instructor or department, and specific regulations may govern eligibility and the number of times a student can attempt a resit. Students are usually required to formally register for a lisäkoe, and there may be associated fees. Successfully passing a lisäkoe is essential for students to progress in their studies or to fulfill graduation requirements.
