The choice of examination method is defined by the course coordinator.
During the written exam, the overall score is reduced to a percentage, taking into account that all questions are of equal value.
In the written exam, the overall mark is converted to a percentage, and the work is assessed on the examinee's ability to:
- Present basic introductory information (20%)
- Use appropriate language and terminology (20%)
- Present appropriate research sources (20%)
- Draws conclusions from the literature review (20%)
- Follow an appropriate structure in the text (20%)
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Summative)
- Performance / Staging (Summative)
- Written Exam with Problem Solving (Summative)
