Assessment methods and Criteria
The learning assessment methods for students are based on a written test. The student can access only one of the 2 dates proposed for each exam session. There are no intermediate and / or ongoing tests. It is not possible to bring any instrument or didactic material during the test.
The written test consists of several questions with multiple choices, one of which is correct. The student will have to answer indicating his preference between four types of answers. The exam score is expressed in 30/30 cum laude and will be communicated through the computer system by the teaching secretariat, the student can email directly at: [email protected] if he deems it useful to view the exam. There is no oral supplementary exam.
