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:-- 1st. Notes of conduct given by the General commanding and the Colonel Second in Command. 2nd. Notes of appreciation given by the General Commanding, and the Colonel Second in Command, and by the Officers of the Staff of the School. 3rd. Tables of credits given by two Field Officers of the Artillery and Engineers on the theoretical and practical instruction with which they are charged. 4th. Tables of credits given by each Professor for the works of all kinds, interrogations, &c., of his course. The classification of the first year comprehends all the works, drill, and practice, executed during the first year, which have been valued, as well as the notes of appreciation and of conduct. The number appropriated to these notes at the end of the first year is equal to the moiety of the total number allowed for the two years of study. The classification of the students of the second year presents the reunion of the works executed by them since their entrance into the school. The maximum number of credits appropriated to all the Officers of the Staff, as a note of appreciation, is equal to one-sixth of the total of all the courses taken together. The same number, divided into two equal parts, is assigned to the notes of appreciation given by the General commanding and the Second in Command. Lastly, the notes of conduct given by the General commanding and the Second in Command form one-fiftieth of the total value. For the classification of each division the Director of Studies abstracts into a Table, for each arm, all the elements which should enter into this classification. Below the name of each student are inserted all the credits which belong to him, and the total, reduced in the ratio of the maximum 20, is the definitive number of the classification of each student. The Director of Studies appends to these Tables a report containing everything which affords a means of estimating the work, the conduct of each student, the delays, and the causes, &c. In giving the names of the students whose credits are less than 7, he proposes, conformably with the Regulations, the measures that should be taken with regard to them.
