200006 VO Biological Psychology II (2020W)

Assessment is dependent on the exam scenario. Exam scenario is dependent on the circumstances surrounding the time of examination.

If the examination will be held online, the exam mode will be:
A mix of MC and open questions in open-book format. There will be a total of 15 MC questions and 5 open questions. Of these 5 questions, 4 can be answered in a few sentences. The last open question is an "ordinary" long question, as it was asked in the past. The grading key remains unchanged compared to regular presence tests. So there will be a total of 30 points. Each MC question can give you 1 point. For the short open questions 2.5 points per question can be achieved (10 points in total) and for the long question 5 points.

Allowed to use for online open book exams: Neuroscience - Exploring the Brain; Bear, Connors, Paradiso, 4th, International edition

IMPORTANT (for online open-book exams): When answering the open questions, do not copy sentences 1:1 from the book. If you do so, we must classify the exam as a plagiarism.

Update from the 25th of November 2020 (for online open-book exams):
Only the use of the above-mentioned allowed material (textbook Bear et al.) is permitted in the examination, all other sources (lecture notes, other students, internet pages, joint summaries etc.) are explicitely not permitted. If sentences, or paragraphs, are taken directly or even slightly modified (e.g. only 1-2 words in the sentence is changed) from the book without being explicitly cited as a direct or indirect quote (APA-Style) then we must classify the written/open examination as plagiarism.

If the examination will be held as an within-class-exam, the exam mode will be:
