Assessment methods
The final exam of the integrated course "Transversal skills" is a written test comprising a total of 30 multiple choice and short-answer questions, covering topics from all components of the course, and is designed to assess the student's knowledge on the different subject covered by the course components.
Each correct question will earn 1 point; no points will be subtracted in case of wrong answer or unanswered question. The use of supporting material or devices such as calculators, books, notebooks, class notes, etc. is not authorized during the test. If needed, a follow-up discussion will allow the Candidate to comment on the wrong answers.
