Grading
A comprehensive final exam accounts for 100% of the grade. The exam is composed of a theoretical part and a practical part.
- theoretical part: this part consists in a few theoretical questions (understanding of the concepts covered in the theoretical lectures, proofs of theorems, etc.). The exact theoretical material for the exam will be disclosed later.
- practical part: this part consists in a few practical exercises. During the exam, students will be provided with a formulae cheat sheet containing the most important formulae.
