Student Assessment
Description
The evaluation of students (FG)(range 0-10) is based on a combination of the following marks:
Final examination paper (FE), Midterm examination paper (ME), assignment (AA)
The evaluation formula is as follows:
If FE≥ 5, then: FG = 5+(FE-6)*0,5+(ME-6)*0,5 + (AA-7)*0,7 (no negative marks)
If 4≤ FE <5, then: FG = 4+(ME-6)*0,5 + (AA-7)*0,7 (no negative marks)
If FE<4, then: FG = FE
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Formative, Summative)
- Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Formative, Summative)
- Written Assignment (Summative)
- Written Exam with Problem Solving (Formative, Summative)
