Evaluate knowledge of basic facts
Basic knowledge and mechanical skills can be one of the most difficult parts of a course to examine without a situation where the student is monitored. It is easy to search for answers in literature and on the internet and the students' answers can be identical but without being plagiarized. This approach provides an example of how basic factual knowledge can be examined as a part of the complete examination.

Continuous supervised course as examination
Students solve a number of complicated tasks in an online training environment similar to a possible future workplace.
