This Laboratory does not have grade, but "idoneità" (pass/fail evaluation).

Each lab is made of 3 ECTS: there are 24 hours in presence (8 hours for each ECTS) and 51 hours of individual study (each ECTS is 25 hours).

To get the "Idoneità" (final evaluation) students must attend all 24 hours (with active participation) and provide all assignments request.

With the "idoneità" an informal feedback will be provided (sufficient, good, perfect, perfect cum laude).
The feedbacks will be based on:

- quality of participation during lessons;

- student's behavior;

- on time handing of homework or exercise;

- quality of the projects produced during the lab
