Assessment methods and criteria :
|
||
| Practical: exercises carried out during the year are evaluated. In case of failure, a written practical examination is mandatory. Theory: oral examination Success is conditionned by the success in both exams (theory and practical). In case of failure, partial exemption (theory or practical) coud be given. |
