 BONUS
  • Given the greater educational value of the PROJECT in the laboratory, both in terms of personal experience and group interaction, those who will decide to develop the PROJECT and will deliver it by BY 01/02/2016 WILL RECIEVE A BONUS OF 2/30 POINTS on the final mark. If the project s delivered by BY 15/02/2016 the bonus will be 1/30 point on the final mark.
  • No bonus will be given in case of projects delivered late and (obviously) to those who subsititute the project with oral or paper discusion.
 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.
