Types of questions and answers
The test questions are intended to test the knowledge that participants have acquired in the course. The questions must be understandable and the answers unambiguous. Therefore, we have omitted the number or free text answer options, which allow you to enter the answer in multiple ways, but only one specific entry can be marked as the correct answer.
