Assessment

Oral examination. To verify  the level of knowledges, it will be asked at least 3 questions regarding the topics of the course. The evaluation will be performed not only on the basis of the knowledges, but also on the basis of the appropriate terminology and the critical approach to present the topics. Each of the evaluation criteria is judged on 4 level scale. Particular attention will be paid to the first two criteria.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
