The written exam is composed by two numerical exercises (compulsory for all) and one open question. Those who have presented in class may skip the open question (you may also choose not to use this option). Evaluation of presentations in class: the symbol represents the percentage over the maximum mark that will be assigned to the omitted question in the exam:
  • (-) 50%
  • (+) 80%
  • (++) 100%
  • (+++) 100% and honor
 For instance (+) means that the mark will be 80% of the maximum indicated in the omitted question. If the maximum mark on the open question is 10, (+) means that the final mark on that question is 8.
