Students' progress is constantly monitored throughout the course; the professor and the tutor(s) will take into consideration the following:
1. automatic tracking of online activities;
2. formative and technical monitoring (deadlines, quality of interventions and participation);
3. progress tests and self-evaluation tests (multiple-choice quizzes)
4. final exam

Student's data are therefore collected by the professor with the intention of evaluating the progress and establishing the final mark for the course.

FINAL EXAM
Access to the final exam will be granted upon completion of all mandatory classes and online activities;
The final exam will be an oral discussion and the mark will be awarded out of 30/30.
The student will be asked a minimum of three questions by the exam commission which cover the topics presented throughout the course.

FINAL EXAM OBJECTIVE
The student must be able to demonstrate the following:
a) understanding and knowledge of the main ideas and topics presented during the course;
b) analysis of a system in terms of the underlying physical laws;
c) solution of simple problems relating to the topics discussed during the course;

A maximum of 10 points will be awarded for each of the objectives a, b and c above. A minimum of 6 points per objective will be required to pass the exam.
Distinction (Laude) will be awarded in case the student:
a) obtains maximum mark in all of the three categories above;
b) is fully capable of autonomously conducting the whole discussion;
c) displays critical analysis capabilities
