Method(s) of evaluation

• written examination
• Project

written examination

• Open question with short answer
• Open question with developed answer

Project

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

The written exam accounts for 80% 
The written report and presentation of the project accounts for 20% 
The final grade is the weighted geometrical average : (exam grade)^0.8 * (project grade)^0.2
