Evaluation Methodology
Students should undertake a written assessment and write a monograph (contributing 50% towards the final grade). An average mark of 10/20 exempts students from end-of-term exam.
The monograph should comply with the guidelines provided in class and to a step-by-step plan.
In the exam-based assessment, submission of monograph is not compulsory, with the final mark corresponding to the exam mark; however, the students who have done the monograph will be able to consider the average with it, should this average benefit them (in which case it will be worth 50% each).
