Examination: Complex assessment consisting of four 30-minutes tests (plus individual preparation for those tests). In order to participate in the examination, you need to (1) be registered in Selma for this module (M1705-FMT24) and (2) register in Selma for this particular examination, which is possible only during the registration period (course-related examination, see here); otherwise, without registration, you can participate in the course, but not in the examination, and any results you deliver will be considered trial runs. A test will be graded with 0 points if you do not show up unless this is for reasons for which you are not responsible as proven, for example, by a medical certificate. Any points you obtain in the tests are valid for this year's examination only.
