Sort de ejam
Oral exam and project work. The mark for each part of the exam is 18-30, or insufficient. The oral exam comprises verification questions, and open questions to test knowledge application skills. It counts for 50% of the total mark. The project consists of a project related to the content of the course and verifies whether the student is able to apply the concepts taught or presented in the course to solve concrete problems. It is assessed through a final presentation, a demo, and a project report and can be carried out either individually or in a group of 2 students. It is discussed during the oral exam, and it counts for 50% of the total mark.

Criters de valutazion
The final mark is computed as the weighted average of the oral exam and the project. The exam is considered passed when both marks are valid, i.e., in the range 18-30. Otherwise, the individual valid marks (if any) are kept for all 3 regular exam sessions, until also all other parts are completed with a valid mark. After the 3 regular exam sessions, all marks become invalid. Relevant for the oral exam: clarity of answers; ability to recall principles and methods, and deep understanding about the course topics presented in the lectures; skills in applying knowledge to solve exercises about the course topics; skills in critical thinking. Relevant for the project: skill in applying knowledge in a practical setting; ability to summarize in own words; ability to develop correct solutions for complex problems; ability to write a quality report; ability in presentation; ability to work in teams. Non-attending students have the same evaluation criteria and requirements for passing the exam as attending students.
