Type of Assessment
The exam consists of a practical test lasting a maximum of four hours to be carried out in the laboratory on one of the circuits covered in class and an oral test lasting 30 minutes. The oral exam consists in the discussion of the practical test carried out by the student in the laboratory, of the problems encountered and how they could be solved. Two questions will then be asked on topics covered in the course.
The assessment will take into account the student's ability to explain with clarity and mastery of the subject, evaluate the specific basic preparation and the acquired ability to elaborate / deepen.
