Assessment methods
The assessment of the course will be based on a midterm and a final exam. The structure of both tests is the same. Each of them will include 10 multiple choice questions (1 point each), 1 exercise or short answer question (6 points). The midterm (final) will be based on the first (last) 10 class sessions. Both class tests will be in the form of a closed-book exam, and no textbooks or notes will be allowed. The final grade of the course will be the sum of the grades of the 2 class tests. The highest score is 16 in both the midterm and the final, therefore the maximum overall grade is 32 (if greater than 30, it will be considered as 30 with honours).
