Other comments on the Evaluation
Assessment of theoretical knowledge (lectures) and practical skills (laboratory sessions) may be carried out through a single examination. A minimum grade of 5/10 must be obtained in each assessment component in order to pass the course. The examination dates will be published on the Master's website. All assessment components may be retaken during the second examination period. Students enrolled in this course are expected to demonstrate responsible and honest academic conduct. Any form of academic misconduct, including cheating or plagiarism, aimed at misrepresenting the level of knowledge or skills acquired in any examination, report, or assignment, is considered unacceptable. Such misconduct may result in failure of the course for the entire academic year. A record of these incidents will be maintained and, in cases of repeated misconduct, a formal disciplinary procedure may be requested through the Rector's Office.
