Evaluation language is Greek. The following will be applied as evaluation methods: • Written final exam with short answer questions. • Individual Assignment (grade 0.2) and from the written final exam (grade 0.8). • Students with identified dyslexia or other learning difficulties, instead of the written final exam, are examined orally. The organization of oral exams presupposes that the interested student had informed in time about the identified problem the Department Administration, and respectively the Department Administration should inform the professor. • The topics are posted on the bulletin board of the professor after the end of the exams. Therefore students can calculate their grades themselves. The students’ grades are announced on the electronic platform of the Department. • Students have the opportunity to see their writing sheet and access the evaluation method. In addition, they can see the corrector’s comments on his/her evaluation. |

The duration of the test is 8 minutes.
In order to ensure the integrity and reliability of the exam, a theme bank is created from where a random selection of questions is made for each examinee, in order to prevent the phenomenon of copying data. There will also be a time limit for answering the questions, so that it will not be possible to search for the answers in the suggested bibliography or in any other source.
Each student should answer 20 questions. Each of the questions is scored with 0.5.
A list will always be attached including only with their Student ID (register number) of the beneficiaries to participate in the examination, in a relevant announcement for the examination of the course. |
- To be completed with YES or NO
- Note down the evaluation methods used by the teacher, e.g.
- written assignment or/and exercises
- written or oral examination with distance learning methods, provided that the integrity and reliability of the examination are ensured.
