1.2 General evaluation system
The PAE Course: Pandora FMS Engineer course is divided into atheoretical part and a practical part.

1.2.1 Theory Part

The final self-assessment consists of 30 questions, where a minimum
grade of 7 will be required in order to pass. There will be 3 attempts
with a time of 30 minutes to make each attempt.
Those students who do not manage to pass some self-evaluation will
have to contact the tutor to look for a solution to their problem.

1.2.2 Practice Part
The practical part of the course consists of the resolution of several
practical cases divided between each of the topics of the course.
For each practical case, a doc or pdf file with the student’s proposed
resolution must be provided. Without this answer the student will not
be able to visualize the solution proposed for the practical case.

The theoretical part of the course comprises the resolution of several
self-assessments covering each of the course topics, and a final selfassessment covering the entire course.
Topic self-assessments consist of 10 questions per self-assessment,
where a minimum grade of 7 will be required to pass. There will be 3
attempts for each self-evaluation to pass it, with a period of 15 minutes
to make each of the attempts.
