General Rules
The assessment of the learning outcomes set out in 2.2 is based on a written examination during the examination period, and a case study (partial performance assessment) and classroom activity during the semester.
Performance assessment methods
A. Exam: a test of the theoretical background and practical application of the topics covered during the semester. B. Classroom activity. c. Performance assessment: written assignment (case study) to be submitted and presented to assess the practical application of the theory.
