Evaluation methods
The evaluation is done through a written examination for the theoretical part and a practical examination for the practical part. The final mark is the weighted average of the marks of the theoretical and practical examinations. The theoretical assessment is worth 15/20 points of the final grade and the practical assessment is worth 5/20 points of the final grade. For the theoretical assessment, the 15 points are divided into 10 points for the "plants" part and 5 points for the "mushrooms" part.
Other information
Participation in practical work, tutorials and exercise sessions is compulsory and essential to validate the teaching unit.
