| Assessment |
|
The final assessment method is an exam. There will be two parts:
a written part (consisting of a minicase study), and a practical part (consisting in a partial implementation of the minicase model). The final mark (on a ten points scale, one point by default) will be obtained as: A. Lab activity: 4p B. Written exam (on paper): 3p C. Practical exam (at computer): 3p |
