Alternative ways of examining a course in emergency situations
| Teacher (full name): | THEODORA BOUBONARI |
| Contact details: | tmpoumpo@eled.duth.gr |
| Supervisors: (1) | No |
| Evaluation methods: (2) | 1) weekly written examinations with distance learning methods
2) written examination with distance learning methods |
| Implementation Instructions: (3) | The examination in the course will be carried out through open eclass (tool “Exercises”) on the examination date according to the posted program. The test time is set at 25 minutes. The written exam will include 25 multiple choice, right-wrong and matching questions. Each correct answer will correspond to 0.4 points. The grade of the written exam corresponds to 100% of the final grade of the course for the students who did not participate in the weekly exams, while the grade of the students who participated in them will result from the sum of the grade of the final exam with the total of the weekly exams. Students who encountered a technical problem during the examination and did not complete the examination should inform the instructor by email. Students who have accepted the terms of participation of Democritus University in the distance examination have the right to participate in the exams. To participate in the exams, students must a) be registered in the eclass of the course and b) on the day and time of the exam to enter the eclass with the details of their institutional account. |
