Assessment methods
A written test about Calculus, Algebra and Geometry, Computer Science. The part of the written exam about Differential and Integral Calculus will comprise 2 or 3 problems, including the study of a function. The other problem(s) will be of the type given during the course as homework. The study of a function will carry about half of the 16 total score points: it will thus be necessary to work it out rather well, to hope for a good grade on the Calculus part of the exam.
