Student Assessment
Description
Oral examination on the syllabus content is held at the end of the semester.
The laboratory exercises are mandatory and carried out in small groups of 20 people. No absences are permitted. Students with one absence can participate in the following examination period, and students with more than one absence must repeat all laboratory exercises.
Following the completion of the laboratory exercises there is a written examination. An “excellent” evaluation increases the final degree of the oral examination by 10%. The increase is valid for the same and for the next examination period.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Summative)
- Oral Exams (Summative)
- Labortatory Assignment (Summative)
