Description
1) Creation and presentation of a written thesis: Students have to work individually or collectively, applying the knowledge and the skills that they developed during the course. In order to define and formulate the topic of the written thesis the students should come in contact with the instructor [Grade: 2]. 2) Students have to take a written exam at the end of the course. This final exam offers students the opportunity for a holistic overview of the course. It is expected that students will be able to analyse critically issues they have studied within the course. This final exam is an open book exam. Students have to solve a problem or to answer to open questions. The answers should be distinguished by logical coherence, scientific consistency and accuracy [Grade: 8]
