Evaluation methods
January:
- participation in mandatory activities (10%)
- continuous evaluation, mini projects (30%)
- exam (60%)
September:
- participation in mandatory activities -- maintained from January session, cannot be redone (10%)
- personal exercises and project (30%)
- exam (60%)
Formative activities may become certificative and cover a part to all of the weight of the exam if the circumstances impose it.
The professor may ask for an additional oral exam to the exam, including but not limited to the following circumstances: technical issues, suspicion of irregularities.
The exam may use all or a subset of the following evaluation modalities. The respective proportion of points for each part is announced at the beginning of the exam:
- participation in mandatory activities (10%)
- continuous evaluation, mini projects (30%)
- exam (60%)

The exam may use all or a subset of the following evaluation modalities. The respective proportion of points for each part is announced at the beginning of the exam:
- open questions on the course content
- open problems requiring an application of skills and knowledge acquired during the course
- multiple-choice and multiple-answer questions under the principle of the "standard-setting". An incorrect answer to one of the questions cannot lead to a negative grade, and the exam part as a whole cannot grant negative points. However, a minimum threshold (announced in the exam) of correct answers is necessary before effectively acquiring points for this exam part.
