Student Assessment
Description
The evaluation of students is carried out in 4 different ways with different weight and contribution to the final grade of each student in the course. 1) With a written exam at the end of the semester via the e-learning platform, 2) with a written individual assignment on the subject of the course which is deposited in a repository in the e-learning, 3) oral presentation of the work at the end of the semester by each student, and 4) midterm examination after the completion of the course lectures with a multiple-choice quiz covering the entire course material.
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 individual assignment, the overall mark is converted to a percentage and the work is assessed on the examinee's ability to:
- present basic introductory facts (20%)
- use appropriate language and terminology (20%)
- present appropriate research sources (20%)
- draw conclusions from the literature review (20%)
- follow an appropriate structure in the text (20%)
During the oral presentation of the paper, the overall score is reduced to a percentage and the paper is evaluated in terms of the examinee's ability to:
- answers accurately and clearly to the questions during the presentation of the work.
- participates with questions in the presentations of the works of his fellow students.
- present key introductory elements
- use appropriate language and terminology
- present appropriate research sources
- draw conclusions from the literature review
- follow an appropriate structure in the text
During the mid-term examination after the completion of the course lectures with a multiple-choice quiz covering the entire course material, students have 3 attempts and the total score is calculated by the M.O. in every effort and is reduced to a percentage.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Formative, Summative)
- Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
