Evaluation methods
Continuous assessment by means of multiple-choice questionnaires. First semester test: 20% of final mark. Second semester test: 20% of final mark. June test: 60% of final mark. In the event of a resit examination, the final mark will be that of the resit. In each assessment, a pass mark (10/20) corresponds to a minimum of 80% correct answers. In the eventuality of a justified absence at a partial test (1st and 2st semester), the final mark will be the arithmetical mean of the tests effectively achieved.
