VII. Didactic methods used
Lectures, practical works, projects, exercises and individual study.
VIII. Assessment
The final assessment method is an exam. There will be two parts:
a written part (consisting of a minicase study),
and a practical part (consisting in a partial implementation of the minicase model).
The final mark (on a ten points scale, one point by default) will be obtained as:
A. Lab activity: 4p
B. Written exam (on paper): 3p
C. Practical exam (at computer): 3p
