Written examination, multiple choice test. The test consists of 30 multiple choice questions on the course contents (reference texts + documents uploaded to Elly during the course). There is no penalty for incorrect answers.
The final mark, reported directly on Esse3, will correspond to the arithmetic average of the assessments obtained in the written test.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
