Assessment methods and criteria

Part A

The evaluation consists in an oral exam in june (one hour of written preparation followed by an oral discussion)
The  distribution on the final score is as follows: 70% for the oral exam; 30% for the laboratory work. Note: if the score of the oral exam is below 10, the results obtained from the laboratory work are not taken into account in the final score.
The same exam procedure is applied in September
