 EXAM RULES
Written exam followed by oral exam. Passing the midterm and final written exams (with a grade of at least 18/30) exempts students from taking the written exam in the first two sessions of the academic year (the oral exam must be taken in any case). Students may optionally submit a group project (maximum 3 people) that contributes up to 8/30 to their overall grade, in addition to the final grade obtained from the written and oral exams, in the case of a practical project. Instead of a project, students may submit a discussion of a technical article that contributes up to 3/30 to their overall grade. The weightings are as follows: oral 50%, written 50% (or alternatively: midterm exam 25%, final exam 25%).

NOTES
- Both in the written and oral exams (but also in the projects) the
student is mainly required to show his/her detailed understanding of
the topic, at least at the level shown by the teacher during the
lesson. It's greatly appreciated the capacity of reasoning on the
problem, rather than a mechanical (pedant) description of the topic.
- In case of written exercise, we mainly look at the correctness of the
solution (in terms of numbers) and a very short justification of the
chosen way to carry out the exercise (lengthy general wording is
completely unnecessary).
- In case of oral question, the topic is typically one of the concepts
illustrated during the lesson. Elements that are required are, for
instance: the proof of the concept/theorem, precise schematic of the
system, detailed behavior and functioning, reasons why this solution
is used in the real-world.
