Final Report Pilot Project - Phase 1

enough there are no great differences among the distributions, except forthe fact that the «4+X» group, having an average 1 st cycle total lengthwhich is longer in term of credits, can allocate more credits to the items«characterizing 2» and «minor or optional».The totals referring to both the core and the average credits pergrid item and the ratio among these two totals are more interesting. Asshown in Table II, the «3+2» pattern exhibits a number of core creditswhich covers 75 % of the total, many more points than what shown inthe other two lines for «all returns» and for the «4+X» group.Table IITotal amount of core credits vs total average length in credits for the 1 st cyclein different cycle organisations (EUPEN 2001 consultation, ref.
