The exam will consist of a written test made up of 4 exercises to be performed in 3 hours and an oral test. At least 6 tests will be organized per academic year. The positive outcome of the written test is preliminary to the oral test.

As part of the written test, within each exercise it may also be required to provide some notion of theory or some theoretical demonstration. Each exercise will consist of several questions. In the written test, each exercise will be assigned a score (expressed in out of thirty) and explicitly indicated on the exam topic. The sum of the points assigned to each exercise will be 30/30. For the purposes of the evaluation of the written test, the following criteria will be considered, in order of priority:
1) the correctness and explanation of the procedures used to solve the problems;
2) the reliability of the results obtained;
3) the correctness of the calculations and of the final result in carrying out the same;
4) the correct use of technical terminology.
The written test will be considered positive with a mark higher than or equal to 16/30.

During the oral exam, the student will be questioned about the program. First, it will be asked to comment on any errors made in the written test. Then 4 or 5 questions relating to the content of the course will be asked to the student. In particular, some demonstrations and some calculations will be asked. The final grade will be assigned by making a weighted average of the assessments obtained in the written and oral tests. The weight assigned to the written test is 1/3, while that given to the oral exam is 2/3. The exam will be considered passed if the result of this weighted average is at least 18/30. To obtain honors, the student must produce a perfect written test and be able, during the oral exam, to answer questions with a high level of difficulty and to carry out non-trivial calculations.
