Modalità verifica apprendimento
The exam consists of a written test, divided into two sections: theory and exercises.
Closed-book, closed-notes, written exam consisting of 2 sections assessing knowledge, understanding of the course topics and ability to apply them in a problem solving context.
Each section will be independently graded: to pass the exam, it is necessary to obtain a sufficient score in both sections.
Threshold to pass is 18/30, the maximum mark is 30/30 cum laude. The final mark is obtained as the weighted mean of marks given to each section (theory and exercises, both sufficient) of the written exam.
If one section is not sufficient, it is necessary to repeat the entire exam (theory and exercises).
