Attendance
attendance at lectures and practical sessionsType of evaluation
The examination is conducted orally, beginning with the reading and interpretation of hydrogeological maps. A passing grade is awarded to students who demonstrate the ability to reason comprehensively about how to approach a given task (e.g., assessing aquifer potential, or selecting a site and drilling technique for a water well) by planning a measurement campaign, processing data, and designing any necessary works. teacher profile teaching materials
