Type of Assessment
Oral exam with exercises and possible discussion of a paper.
For those who choose not to prepare a paper, the exam consists of (1) a "theory" question (2) design of an algorithm and its representation through a block diagram relating to a problem chosen by the teacher and (3) discuss the implementation of the algorithm with a spreadsheet and/or with Python.
For those who choose to prepare a paper, the exam consists in the presentation of the paper itself (in the manner that the student prefers) and from there the discussion of the aspects covered will start.
The thesis must concern the resolution of a problem chosen by the student (possibly pertinent to the other courses of the course) using spreadsheets or Python3.
However, extra questions will be possible if the teacher deems it appropriate. In particular, it may be required to draw a block diagram of a simple algorithm chosen by the teacher.
The exam lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. The property of language, the ability to summarize, the completeness of the answers and the originality of the proposed solutions will be evaluated. In the case of presentation of the paper, great importance will be given to the methods of exposure and to the choice and originality of the problem dealt with.
