Student Assessment
Description
Assessment is chiefly based on a written comprehensive examination administered at the end of the term. This final subject exam consists mainly of questions inviting essay-type answers testing integrated knowledge and writing proficiency. Students have already been informed about the grading (qualitative and quantitative) criteria throughout the term in the classroom, during office hours and via online communication but are also informed the very day of the exam as the marks each question attracts are noted at the rubric. The exam provides a standard that addresses the core competencies noted in the learning outcomes and concentrates on integration of knowledge rather than simple recall of isolated elements. Alternative assessment is offered in the form of writing assignments or essays in Modern Greek or any other language chosen especially in the case of Erasmus Exchange students.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Formative, Summative)
  • Written Exam with Extended Answer Questions (Formative, Summative)
  • Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
