General Rules
The assessment of the learning outcomes set out in 2.2 is based on two written mid-terms (summative assessment), a case study (partial assessment) and classroom activity.
Performance assessment methods
A. Performance assessment: a written examination, typically consisting of computational exercises, and to a lesser extent theoretical questions and/or test questions, to assess the practical application of the theory. B. Performance assessment: written assignment (case study) to be submitted and presented to assess the practical application of the subject matter. C. Classroom activity.
Percentage of performance assessments, conducted during the study period, within the rating
- 1. partial performance measurement (assignment, case study): 10
- 2. classroom activity: 10
- 1. summary performance measurement : 40
- 2. summary performance measurement: 40
- total: 100
