Integrated assessment:

Assessment is done on the following basis:

Formative assessment is done on the following:

Case studies of relevant situations
Several written tests per subject per year
Laboratory work is assessed
Practical work is assessed
Two practical tests per year
A comprehensive management programme is submitted
A case study analysis is submitted
A seminar, based on current research, must be completed and presented in the form of a colloquium
A basic research project is conducted

Summative assessment:

A colloquium is conducted for each subject
One written examination per subject per year
One practical examination per subject per year
A portfolio of models and practical work is compiled and assessed
Portfolio records are kept for 5 years as per SERTEC requirements.
