Examination Methods

Written exam with 10-15 open question exercises. Duration approximately 2 hours. No books or notes are allowed. Instead, it is necessary to bring a calculator, pen and identification card. The sheets are distributed by the teacher.
In the event of a health emergency, the exam can be carried out online with questions and exercises on the entire program. Consultation of books or notes during the exam is prohibited.
