Student Assessment
Description
The final examinations of the semester include the assessment of students in four parts: a) Practice, b) Teaching, c) Theory, and d) Work. Each student is graded with a maximum of 10 from the examination of the four parts and the final grade is one. In detail, the assessment of theoretical knowledge is done in writing or orally with questions included in the subject matter of the semester. The practical part of the examination is carried out by performing exercises or pre-exercises in all apparatuses taught during the semester. The methodical teaching of the exercises by students, as well as the ways of their assistance and security, are also considered.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Assignment (Formative)
  • Oral Exams (Summative)
  • Labortatory Assignment (Formative)
  • Practical examination (Formative, Summative)
