Assessment Par,al Exams

Exam Format II




During the exam evalua,on, any ques,on that would have aws will be
annulled. In that case, the exam assessment will be made based on the
nal valid ques,on set.

In order to consider the random sta,s,cal eect in answers, if NPV is
the number of valid ques,ons in the exam and NC the number of
correct answers, the par,al mark (NP) is:
NP = (10 / (NPV-4))*(NC-4)
in a [0-10] scale. That is, it is necessary to correctly answer about 50% to
get 4 over 10 in the exam.
