Student Assessment
Description
The final evaluation of the students is based upon:
Submission of 4 papers during the semester on several design issues (construction of engineering geological model, design parameters selection, slope stability analysis, prediction of behaviour in underground excavation, water tightness under a dam).
Submission of a larger paper. The paper involves the submission of a certain part of a design and students are educated on special softwares of data evaluation and stability analysis.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Extended Answer Questions (Summative)
