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. |
