    Questions and exercises are assigned in such a way to cover all the program subjects. In detail, theoretical questions are aimed to evaluate the students' comprehension level of the taught subjects. On the other hand,  the exercises are thought to evaluate the students' capability  in applying the acquired competences.

    Further details about how to get ready for the exam, as well as about the required level of depth for each subject will be given during classes time.
