Examination Methods
The examination aims at verifying the comprehension of course contents. It consists of:
1) written test with 10 questions about the theory and laboratory; questions may also consist in short numerical exercises; a max amount of 3 points are given for each answer;
2) optional project as
- bibliographic research (max 2 points, team of max 2 people)
- experimental activity (max 3 points, team of max 3 people)
Students from Computer Science Degree cannot use this class as "crediti D".
For the project, synergies are possibles with other classes, stage and thesis.
The final result (over 30 points) is computed by summing up the result of both the written test and the project. Attribute "Laude" is given when 32-33 points are achieved.
