Assessment methods and criteria
Written multiple-choice test (in itinere exam); The exam will be structured in 30 questions with 5 possible answers (true-false). Students will also be able
to implement their grades during an additional oral test on Teams (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
