At the end of the laboratory, students will be invited to present an analytical report / an in-depth analysis on the works and issues addressed during the laboratory.

Please note that each 3 CFU laboratory includes 24 hours of face-to-face lessons (8 hours per CFU) and 51 hours of individual study (each CFU is 25 hours in total). Therefore, it will not be enough to attend the laboratory to obtain the evaluation, it will instead be necessary to do all the required exercises.
At the end of the workshop the evaluation will be expressed as suitability. To obtain eligibility, the student must attend the lessons by actively participating in the activities proposed in the presence; deliver all the planned exercises respecting the deadlines.
