| - | The midterm and final examinations of these courses | + | The midterm and final examinations of AST 100 are presentations. Students are divided into 8 groups, and each group has to prepare a single file with all the slides of the presentation, preferably using Google Slides or Canva. The presentation is divided into 5 or 6 parts, each part is presented by an individual student of the group, and the grading is also done individually. Each student should have at least 4 slides including the title slide, and should take 3-4 minutes for the presentation. Each group gets 20 minutes for the presentation in total. |
| The exams are taken during two regular classes, the even-numbered groups present during one of the classes, and the odd-numbered groups during the other class. | The exams are taken during two regular classes, the even-numbered groups present during one of the classes, and the odd-numbered groups during the other class. | ||
