The 75% of the grade is based on an oral exam with two possibilities.

By the winter session (February 2024) students can choose a topic to be presented and discussed in the exam session. The topic must be agreed with the teacher in advance.

After February 2024, the evaluation is based on a typical oral exam on all the topics of the course.
