Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
1. Written test that will focus on the topics covered during the course. This test includes the
resolution of exercises of the same type as those carried out during the course.
2. Presentation of a topic chosen by the student pertinent to the topics covered
during the course.
3. Questions formulated by the commission on the topics considered inalienable.
4. Verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, if the
conditions should require it.
Information for students with disabilities and/or SLD
To guarantee equal opportunities and in compliance with the laws in force, interested students can request a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory measures, based on the educational objectives and specific needs
Examples of frequently asked questions and / or exercises
Questions regarding the main topics of the course. Exercises on the rigorous treatment of equilibria in solution.
