- Teaching methods
- practise exercises
- Assessment methods
- The course is ended by a final written test and there is also a mid-term test. Students have to achieve at least 50% of the maximum score to pass the course. Erasmus students have the same conditions. Any copying, recording or taking out the tests, use of unauthorized devices and means of communication or other distortions of test objectivity will be considered a failure in the course and a gross violation of study regulations. Consequently, the teacher closes the test (credit) score in IS by grade "F" and Dean initiates disciplinary proceedings.
