Assessment – Examinations

At Educational Dynamics, we use both formative and summative assessment, the former being the primary way of assessing the students’ learning progress during a course. Through formative progressive assessment we aim at monitoring our students’ learning and providing ongoing feedback that can be used by our teaching personnel to improve their teaching and help students improve their learning.

Examinations for our students

Our students participate in three (3) types of summative examinations (paper based or computer based):

Mid-year Examinations
End-of-year Final Examinations
Mock Examinations

Mid-year Examinations

These examinations take place in February for winter courses and in August for summer courses.

End-of-year Final Examinations

These examinations are both written and oral and take place in the end of the year on the E.D. premises. All students participate in the final written and oral examinations with the exception of the ones who are at B2, C1, C2 levels in all 4 languages.

Mock Examinations

These examinations take place in February and in September depending on which period the E.D. students sit their international examinations (March/May/June/October/December).
