Assessment methods
Student learning will be assessed through a written examination aimed at evaluating the achievement of the course’s educational objectives. The exam is jointly administered by the lecturers of the three disciplines that comprise the integrated course. The examination will consist of 60 multiple-choice questions, with a time limit of 60 minutes. Each module within the integrated course will contribute 20 questions. Correct answers will be awarded positive points, while incorrect or unanswered questions will receive no points.
Teaching tools
The lecture slides will be made available to students on the Virtuale platform. Additionally, each set of lecture slides includes references at the bottom, allowing students to further explore the topics independently.
