The exam will cover the lectures (including demonstrations and video). Suggested books serve to help the student to have a deeper understanding of the topic and, for non-attending students, to better follow the lectures’ contents.
The exam will be the same for attending and non-attending students. Non-attending students are encouraged to contact the teacher to receive help following the program and arrange the examination.
The evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.
All lectures can be found at the e-learning page linked to this course.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The aim of the exam is to assess the knowledge acquired by the students during the course, as well as their ability to make inferences and connections about the different topics discussed during the course.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade
