Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of a written test and an optional oral exam, both to be taken during the same exam session.
The written test will be structured as follows:
A first "filter" section aimed at assessing basic mathematics knowledge through multiple-choice questions. This part does not contribute to the final grade.
A second section covering the first half of the topics addressed during the course.
A third section covering the second half of the course topics.
In both the second and third sections, students will be required to:
answer a set of questions by providing only the final result, solve several exercises, answer theoretical questions (definitions and statements from the entire program, and proofs of some of the theorems presented in class, which will be specified in the final syllabus).
The written exam is passed if the grade is equal to or higher than 18/30 and if each part of the exam is deemed satisfactory. During the exam, it is not permitted to consult notes or books, nor to use calculators or other computing tools. Written exams will take place during the official exam sessions in January, February, June, July, and September.
The written exam can be replaced by two in-course tests.
The first test will be held approximately in the second half of November, and the second in January.
The structure and rules of the in-course tests are the same as those of the written exam.
To pass the written exam through the in-course tests, a minimum of 16/30 must be achieved in each test, with an average score of at least 18/30. The final grade of the written exam will be the average of the grades from the two in-course tests.
The oral exam will cover definitions and statements from the entire program, and proofs of some of the theorems presented in class (as indicated in the final syllabus).
For students taking the in-course tests, the oral exam will take place in January.
In case of a negative evaluation of the oral exam (in either modality), the grade obtained in the written test may be revised accordingly, or the written test may need to be retaken.
To participate in a written test or an in-course test, students must register through the university's designated system by the specified deadline.
Candidates must present a valid photo ID.
Additional and updated information will be available on the course's Ariel webpage.
