There are usually two examinations (or projects and/or papers to be counted as an exam grade) for each course at each semester. Exams are usually held in "Common Exam Week" (or for the finals "Final Examination Week"). Examinations are scheduled by the Dean's office and regular class schedule continues to take place with shorter amount of time for each period. After the exam results are announced several awards (with different categories: Academic Success, Effort, Improvement) are given by the teachers to students.
