|---|---|
| TEACHING PROVIDES 42 HOURS OF LESSONS AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES ARE ALSO PROVIDED. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AND EXAM EVALUATED WITH A POINT SCALE FROM 18 TO 30. THE EXAM PROVIDES A WRITTEN TEST WITH A DURATION OF 60 MINUTES. THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS OF A MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST AND AN OPEN RESPONSE ON THE SUBJECTS OF THE TEACHING PROGRAM. IT IS INTENDED TO VERIFY THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE TOPICS DISCUSSED AND THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE THEM IN WRITING FORM. |
