ASSESSMENT METHODS

Alternative ways of examining and scoring:
Final written examination February or September: 100%.
Optional written work and final written examination February or September: 30% + 70% = 100%.
The student receives the highest possible degree that can be derived from the above cases.
Student Evaluation Method:
Written examination with design and analysis problem solving (formative, inference).
Written task of solving planning and analysis problems (formative, deductive).
The above scoring algorithm is available to students through the course website.
