The student must choose  between two alternative, mutually exclusive assessment method: continuous assessment or final assessment.

The continuous evaluation options consists in a final written exam (50% of the qualification), the completion of an engineering project  (30% of the qualification) and homework (20%). This project will be due the last working day preceding the start of the examination period. The final assessment option consists in a final written exam (60% of the qualification) and in the completion of an engineering project (40% of the qualification). This project will be due the last working day preceding the start of the examination period. The examinations of the continuous and the final assessment options may not be equal.

The students must declare their preferred assessment type right after the programming assignment is announced. A student will be considered as defective (not active) upon not manifesting any preference at this point.

The students who fail the course will be given a second opportunity at the end of the academic year to do so. Their academic achievements will be re-evaluated, both with a written exam (theoretical knowledge) and a review of their engineering project looking for improvement or changes.  The weights are the same they were committed to, according to their choice.

Any assigned grade will only be valid during the academic year where it is awarded.

Should any form of plagiarism be detected in any project or test submitted, the final grade in the subject will be FAIL (0) and the event will be reported to the academic officers so that the appropriate sanctions can be taken.
