The examination will be performed through MS TEAMS. The link will be sent to students via e-class exclusively to the institutional accounts of those who have registered for the course and have learned the terms of distance education.

Students will have to log in to the examination room through their institutional account, otherwise, they will not be able to participate. They will also take part in the examination with a camera which they will have switched-on during the examination. Before the beginning of the exam, students will show their identity to the camera, so that they can be identified.Each student should answer 4 questions. Each of the questions is scored with 2.5. Students’ overall grade in the course results from the aggregation of the oral examination (70%) and the execution (writing and presentation) of written assignments (optional) as scheduled at the beginning of the semester (30%).
