3000 Toulouse students wanting to take their exam in English were told the night before that the exam was cancelled.
Apparently the Jean-Jaures University had double booked its amphitheatres and could not hold the exams. So all the candidates were awarded 10/20 (French exams seem all to be marked out of 20). This score cancelled out any marks obtained for course work - angering students whose marks for course work were well above 10. They feel, probably with reason, that such an average mark could damage their future prospects for masters studies.
The University says students who want to take the exam can sit it on 29th June. But no comment on whether the course work can be considered.
