Evaluations

The assessment is based on the completion of an individual assignment: The student chooses, with the agreement of the teacher, a subject from one of the programmes of the economics sector in upper secondary education. He/she analyses in depth the issues involved in preparing a learning-teaching sequence, develops a sequence and creates an evaluation tool. Students who wish to do so may defend their work orally (optional oral examination). The oral examination is based on questions of clarification, deepening or in connection with the theoretical course based on the student's work. The teacher also offers the student the opportunity to react and reflect on adaptations to the sequence The learning-teaching process is based on a variety of teaching situations. In this scheme, the work counts for 75% and the oral examination for 25% of the final grade.
