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.
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.
