The quiz consists of 3 to 10 questions of various types (multiple choice, gap filling, essay, etc.).

The exam lasts 2 hours. Students may use the internet and their own study materials in the course of the exam, but any communication among students during the exam is strictly forbidden and counts as cheating. Cheating and/or any amount of plagiarism* at the exam results in mark 0 (zero).
