Both written exams can be done on the same day (duration: 4 hours). In case of positive result, students are eligible to undertake the oral exam (duration: about 1 hour). Both oral exams, one for each semester, can be undertaken on the same day. ASSESSMENT METHODS Evaluation of the acquisition of practical and theoretical knowledge in calculation methods for the design and operation of electric power systems.
