Assessment methods
The final examination consists of a written test comprising 16 True/False multiple-choice questions covering all the topics of the course. The total score for the examination is 32 points. The final grade is calculated based on this score, with a maximum grade of 30/30 with honors (30 cum laude).During the examination, the use of any electronic device (including smartphones, smartwatches, laptops, tablets, etc.) or printed material (such as formula sheets, lecture slides, notes, handouts, or textbooks) is strictly prohibited. The use of any form of artificial intelligence is also not permitted.Any use of the aforementioned resources constitutes a violation of academic integrity and will be treated accordingly.
Teaching tools
During the lectures, a variety of educational videos will be presented to provide a clearer understanding of the operating principles and applications of the manufacturing processes covered in the course.
