Examination Methods
The written examination will consists of about 15 multiple choice questions with 5-8 possible answers, and one exercise on simple data sets. Wrong answers to the written examination will be orally discussed with the student.
If a new lockdown phase will be enacted, the exam modality will be modified accordingly, i.e. exams will be performed in rooms large enough to guarantee social separation, or exams will be administered using the web-platform Zoom.
