Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of an oral interview.

- During the oral exam the student will be asked to illustrate some results of the course program, as well as to discuss the resolution of some of the problems assigned during the course, in order to evaluate the knowledge and understanding of the topics covered, as well as the ability to apply them .

The mark is expressed in thirtieths and will be communicated immediately at the end of the oral exam.
