Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The assessment of student learning consists of an oral exam consisting of three parts: - The first part consists of exposing the results obtained during laboratory activities proposed during the course. The laboratory activities are usually carried out in groups of three or at most four students, and each group will prepare, before the examination a written report. Each student will be assessed individually, even if the work was performed in a group. - A second part of the oral involves exposing a theme, previously assigned by the teacher, in a concise manner, similarly to what is done usually at a scientific conference. - A third of the oral part, consists in the discussion on one or more topics covered in the course.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
To successfully pass the examination, the student must demonstrate, through the three parts of the oral session, that he/she has fully understood the concepts presented in the course, is able to apply them using algorithms implemented in Matlab, and has ability of synthesis and communicative clarity.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
For each of the three parts of the oral mentioned before is assigned a score between zero and thirty. The overall score is the average of the scores obtained in the three tests, with rounding to the entire excess.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
Because the overall outcome of the evaluation is positive, the student must achieve at least the sufficiency, equal to 18/30, in each of the tests described above. The highest rating is achieved by demonstrating a thorough understanding of the course content. Laudem is given to students that have demonstrated a particular brilliance in the exposition and in the preparation of written reports.
