Before the oral exam you have to prepare a portfolio of 15 techniques encountered during the course that you would like to present. The portfolio consists simply of a list of names of the techniques, you do not have to describe them in the portfolio. The techniques must cover all the following topics:
Techniques not included in the curriculum can also be presented. The portfolio must be approved by the teacher before January 15 at noon.
At the oral exam, you will draw (with reinsertion) a topic from the list above and then choose yourself the techniques from your portfolio that you are to present. You should restrict your presentation to a maximum of 10 minutes per technique. When you finish with one technique you draw another topic.
The exam is without preparation, thus, after you draw a topic the examination starts immediately. You should plan to present the technique using the blackboard (you cannot bring transparencies). You should be able to present without help of questions. You are allowed to bring two sheets of short notes to look up. After your presentation, we may ask brief questions. Afterwards, we may ask questions related to the topic and to the techniques you used in the obligatory assignments.
You will draw a topic and then you can choose to focus on one of the techniques you listed in it.
