The assessment takes place as follows:

The evaluation is based on the following criteria:
1) Attendance, punctuality and participation in lessons 30%;
2) Debate 20% (insufficient exposition = below 18; good exposition = 18-24; excellent exposition and arguments = 24-30)
3) Final oral exam (under 18 = insufficient; between 18 and 23 = sufficient; between 24-27 = good; 28-30 = excellent). This last test is decisive and can round up or down the vote, and confer honors as well.
