Assessment Methods

Two written mid-term tests which count for 50% and a written final examination (4 hours) which counts 50%. All tests are devided in two parts, one with and one without facilities. Both mid-term tests or the final examination must receive passing marks in order to receive a passing mark for the course.

Minor adjustments may occur during the academic year, subject to the decision of the Dean
