Examination Methods
There will be an intermediate written exam (about halfway through the semester). This exam focuses on the topics covered up to that point. It consists of a test of multiple-choice questions (some of which will take the form of exercises).
The mid-term exam is optional. The score of the mid-term exam will count 50% of the final score. The aim of the intermediate exam is to encourage the students to a systematic study.
The final exam follows the same procedures as the intermediate exam: it consists of a test of multiple-choice questions.
In the intermediate exam, the multiple-choice questions will be graded as follows: +3 for each correct answer, −1/2 for each wrong answer, 0 for each question left unanswered.
In the final exam, they will be graded as follows: +2 for each correct answer, −1/3 for each wrong answer, 0 for each question left unanswered.
