Theory (written) Work is evaluated by administering multiple choice written exams. These exams are given at the end of each lesson concluding with final exams after the completion of the textbooks and while preparing for graduation. These exams measure how well the student retained the information delivered in theory class, reading and studying the text, and completion of homework. These exams also utilize the grading system described below.
