Assessment methods
The assessment method is divided into two parts: a written test and an oral exam. The written part lasts two hours, it is allowed to bring books and notes and will have a maximum of 30 points. In order to be eligible to take the oral exam the student must score a minimum of 16 points. A sufficient written test allows to attend the oral exam in any (oral) date of the same session, while expires for the following sessions.
A student which has a sufficient written test and which attends again the written part and delivers it in order to be evaluated automatically deletes the previous result. Whereas if the student withdraws the previous test remains valid.
The oral exam has the duration of 30 minutes and can contain theoretical question and exercises.
