Method(s) of evaluation

• written examination

written examination

• Closed question with Multiple Answers (MAQ)

The exam consists of 20 QRM-type questions, meaning that each question has multiple answer options, and several of these options may be correct. Each question is worth 1 point. For each correct option selected, you receive 1 divided by the number of correct options. However, if an incorrect option is selected, you lose the entire point for that question.

Example: For a question with 5 options, 3 correct and 2 incorrect, you receive 0.33 points (1/3) for each correct option selected. If you select even one incorrect option, regardless of how many correct options you selected, you lose the point for that question (0/1).

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

The grade is based on the result of the written exam (/20).
