Assessment methods and criteria

The overall assessment is described as follows:

- insufficiency is determined by a lack of knowledge of the minimum contents of the teaching, as well as a lack of adequate specialised vocabulary and resolution of any proposed exercises, and a lack of independent judgement, analysis, argumentation and communication of the contents;

- grades 18-23/30 describe an acceptable level of student execution of the assessment indicators;

- grades 24-25/30 describe more than sufficient performance;

- grades 26-27/30 describe good execution;

- grades 28-30/30 describe an excellent performance and 30/30 with distinction an excellent performance.
