| I-ULBC-018 | Written exam in two parts: a closed-book one and an open-book one. The closed-book part focuses on fundamental theoretical concepts and developments as well as on standard methodologies, whereas the open-book part features deeper questions that require more complex thinking. A document of useful formulas will be given to the students for the closed-book part (it is written by the teacher and will be made available to the students prior to the "blocus" time frame). |
