Evaluation methods
In this course, the students are evaluated in two ways:
- An oral closed-book exam (part A)
- A mandatory project work, to be delivered by the end of the first session (part B).
The final grade is the weighted average of part A and part B evaluations. In the final grade, Part B weights 40%, while Part A weights 60%.
If no project is submitted, the student will be considered as absent for the whole evaluation. No project is organized during the August second session.
A minimal note of 9/20 must be obtained at the exam for the note of the project to be used in the final note; otherwise, only the exam note is reported as the final note; the note for the project is still acquired by the student and it will be used, together with the note of an exam in the next session, to compute the new final note.
