Assessment: This is a compound course, with its total grade comprising theory (70%) and applied part (30%). Success in the applied part of the course must coincide or predate participation in the final theory exam. The applied part is graded through with laboratory exercises and written reports. Theory is graded through a written midterm exam (20%), a written examination at the end of the course (50%) and an optional semester project (40%). In case of success to the applied part of the course and failure to the theoretical part, the grades of the applied part may be retained for one year.
