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

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

The students must declare their preferred assessment for global assessment right after the programming assignment is announced. A student cannot be considered as defective (not active) if continuous assessment is chosen.

The students who fail the course will be given an extraordinary 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.
