Student Assessment
Description
The students need to carry out three different projects during the semester, in which they prepare a report and a powerpoint presentation and are orally examined. The final score is calculated as the average of the three individual scores..
Student Assessment methods
- Oral Exams (Formative)
- Performance / Staging (Formative)
- Report (Formative)
