The assessment is based on student’s performance in the written final examination (80%) and on a mid-term examination during the semester (20%). The overall course grade is the sum of a) the final exam grade plus b) 20 percent of the mid-term exam grade.*
Written examinations deal with issues of understanding basic concepts, comparative evaluation of competitive theories and solving numerical problems related to the content of the course. Exam papers are of a multiple-choice format and students are asked to choose the correct answer (40 questions) from a list of 5 alternative answers (per question). The evaluation criteria are described in the Course Syllabus, which is posted on the platform eclass.upatras.gr.
*The above student evaluation method is a pilot one and will be re-examined at the end of academic year 2018-2019
