Assessment methods and criteria :
Type : Exam during the examination period
Description of evaluation : Written
Type of questions : Multiple choice, Open questions
Learning material : List of formulas, Calculator
The course is assessed by the teacher(s), as announced via Toledo and the examination schedule. The result is calculated and expressed as a whole number with a maximum of 20.
Exam features
- Written examination (type "closed book") with open questions (weight 75%) and multiple-choice questions (weight 25%). The mathematics formula sheet present in the course notes can be used. The use of a simple (non-graphical and non-programmable) calculator is permitted.
- In case of catch-up exams, the exam type may differ from the regular exam type (e.g., only open questions, oral examination, ...)
