- Prerequisites
- No prerequisite.
- Teaching methods
- Lectures with slides.
Home assignments.
Compilation examples.
Classroom exercises. - Learning verification modality
- Written exam with 9-10 exercises based on understanding and writing pieces of code in C language (duration: 2 hours and half).
If the marks of the written exam are good enough, the student is required to give a Lab exam where she will be asked to modify some parts of a project developed at home (duration: 1 hour and half). Some further questions can asked at the end of the Lab exam, depending on the marks of the two previous tests. The written exam is scored 18-30, then 4-5 more points an be assigned to the assigned project. The oral exam is then used to assess the skills of a student and tune the final mark. - Extended program
