1.2. Short-answer tests in the seminars, which account for 20%.
1.3. Practical proofs for the evaluation of supervised work (25%) and the presentation of them (25%).
Continuous assessment tasks are not recoverable, and they are only valid for the current year. A student is assumed to have opted for continuous assessment when he/she has been made one of the long-answer tests and has participated in two debate activities. A student who chooses to continuous assessment is deemed to have been presented to the subject, whether they are present or not to the final exam.
