| Description of the modifications to the Q3 2019-2020 online assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
| All students will receive the questions simultaneously and will have to answer in a limited time. It will be an open book exam, but there will be insufficient time to look up all the answers. The questions will be individualised. There will be problem sets, graphical interpretations, questions of understanding and open questions where I ask your opinion. |
