EXAM DESCRIPTION

First module - Architectures of Electronic Systems:

The exam consists of a written exam, which includes questions in multiple-choice test format and open questions.

During the semester intermediate tests will also be organized with individual assessment. This evaluation will contribute to defining the final grade.

Second module - Laboratory of Informatics and Telematics:

The exam takes place on the dates set on the exam calendar from 9 am to 1 pm. Students who take the exam will have to take a test with 62 multiple choice questions (time limit 1h30m) and draft a complex software project with a test approach driven. This second part of the exam can be done in couples.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

First module - Architectures of Electronic Systems:

The learning outcomes achieved by the student will be verified in two ways. During the semester, through the practical exercises proposed in the classroom. At the end of the course through the written test.

Second module - Laboratory of Informatics and Telematics:

During the course, some exercises are proposed divided into blocks whose themes are aligned with the development of the theoretical part. Students who attend the course can perform the exercises and upload the corresponding source code in a specific repository on GitHub following a table of deadlines that is shared during the first lesson of the course. The teacher punctually corrects the exercises carried out suggesting possible corrections and improvements of the code. At the end of the year students who have correctly completed at least 80% of the proposed exercises are entitled to a bonus on the final exam grade.
