Evaluation method
The evaluation includes:
- Laboratory sessions (2) and corresponding reports and discussion – group of 3 students.
- Proposal of a scientific project and oral presentation and discussion - individual.
- Tests (2) - individual
The final grade is composed by 25% of the grade obtained in the lab sessions (average value of the two experimental works) +25% of the grade obtained in the proposal +50% of the grade obtained in the tests (average value of the two tests).
In each component of the evaluation the grade has to be >=9.5, in a scale 0-20.
