ASSESSMENT METHODS AND CRITERIA
- Oral examination duringthe laboratory sessions.
- Evaluation of the laboratory reports submitted after each laboratory session.
- Theory and practical examination (written, and/or oral, when recommended) at the end of the semester
To pass the Course, a minimum grade 5 (out of 10) is necessary in both the theory and the practical examination at the end of the semester. The final grade is calculated as follows: 0.7 × (theory grade) + 0.3 × (practical grade). The practical grade includes the grade of the practical examination at the end of the semester, the grade of the oral examination during the laboratory sessions and the grades assigned to the laboratory reports.
