Strongly recommendedType of evaluation
The course assessment comprises six examination sessions. During the oral examination, the instructors will evaluate the student's acquisition of knowledge across the entire course syllabus. The final grade will be determined through consideration of several factors, including: the level and quality of subject matter knowledge; the ability to apply theories and concepts to diverse contexts; the proficiency in employing an appropriate scientific terminology; reasoning skills demonstrated during the examination; and the degree of autonomy displayed in the independent study of the prescribed texts. A passing grade requires a demonstrable, if sufficient, understanding of the core concepts covered within the course syllabus. teacher profile teaching materials
