Evaluation criteria

The questions are structured in such a way as to verify the level of knowledge of the different parts of the program. Evaluation tends to ascertain this level of knowledge and the ability to apply this knowledge to practical situations.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The test is passed when the student answers at least sufficiently (3.5 / 4 points) to each question and reaches a total score of 18 points. Each point corresponds to 1/31 of the overall score that can be acquired.
