Paper Evaluation - Principles of Management

I hope that the following post is useful for student who have written exams in the subject POM MG 1351.
This is the way how evaluation is done. Students are therefore advised to prepare the subject , and present this way.
Usually results are positively expected before second week of july. Students may share their opinion/ views / marks in the exam.

How is evaluation done.
