Assessment methods and Criteria
The final examination consists of a written exam. During the written exam, the student will solve some exercises in the format of open-ended questions, with the aim of assessing the student's ability to solve problems about the topics of the course. The duration of the written exam will be proportional to the number of assigned exercises, and is normally of two hours. Two midterm exams are offered that can replace the first exam. The exams' outcomes (marks given using the numerical range 0-30) will be available in the SIFA service through the UNIMIA portal.
