Study process and evaluation
●
●
●
cumulative score principle
colloquiums (march, may)
presentation of actualities (march,april,may)
the assessment takes into account the ability to give meaning, optimize, present and convincingly
defend the results and ability to use EICT for professional purposes.
accumulated points formula:
cumulative score = 0.5*knowledge + 0.5*skills
(knowledge - colloquiums results mean;
skills - mean of published online & defended results).
final evaluation (exam) = 0.6*cumulative + 0.4*final.test
