The description of the method of assessment is detailed in each of the outlines. In general, assessment is based on attendance, participation in small groups and seminars, the quality of written reports and write-ups, and performance on oral, written, and practical examinations. You will receive a written evaluation of your performance from each component of the course in addition to an overall grade.
