The language for evaluation is Greek.

The methods are applied for evaluation are:

Final written examination including questions with sort answers.

For improving their grade students can work personal or with groups project in insect taxonomy.

Lab exercises.

Students with dyslexia or other learning difficulties instead of the final written examination, they have oral examination. Before this comes the information of the department and the stuff from the student about the problem he/ she has.

After the exams the questions will be posted on the notice board so the students will be able to calculate their own grade by themselves. The grades of the students will be posted on the online platform. The students will have the ability to see their exam paper on demand to the professor. The students can also inquire about the way that their exam papers are graded and additionally will be able to see the comments of the professor about their evaluation.
