Lectures
Assessment methods and criteria
Written multiple-choice test (in itinere exam); students will also be able
to implement their grades during an additional oral test (upon request to
the teacher) should they be unsatisfied with the grade they got from the
written test. However, this specification only applies to those students
who passed the written test (score> or = 18). Questions of the written
test will pertain the topics discussed during classes. The oral test will
address those items which the student failed to give the correct answer
in the written test.
