The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Assessment mode : Report on the project + oral exam (absences during the exercises will be taken into account in the final result).
Exam requirements (teacher's highest priorities regarding assessment)
Starting from a given problem, the students must be able to describe an overview of the appropriate solving method. They also must be able to explain the details of the algorithms of the courses and to illustrate them on simple examples.
