Evaluation methods
1st session: formative assessment
  • Knowledge tests (30%)
  • Individual assignment (30%)
  • Collective assignment (40%)
Failure in one of the assessment categories leads to an overall failure for the course.
2nd session: individual assignment to be delivered on the first day of the session
