6. Student assessment
6.a Assessment methods.

1. Semester first exam to asses: the student knowledge

about conduction heat transfer, this knowledge
should grow with the development of the course and
therefore written exams are designed accordingly.
2. Semester second exam to asses: convection heat
transfer.
3. Major exam to asses: heat exchangers.
4. Report to asses self-learning: extension in one

branch of heat transfer field or actual practical

problem facing the student in heat transfer field.
