Non-compulsory frequency

The evaluation includes a written test and an oral interview. The written test consists of exercises, each with multiple questions, which refer to the three main modules of the course (mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism). In addition to the self-assessment quizzes, two exoneration tests are proposed which, if passed, allow direct access to the oral exam. Written test and oral exam equally contribute to the final note, expressed in thirtieths.

The course includes both theory lectures and exercises. Through the theory lectures, students acquire fundamental knowledge of the discipline, while the exercises are used to apply this knowledge to solve specific problems. Throughout the course, biweekly self-assessment tests are offered via the e-learning platform (quizzes). These quizzes consist of a series of questions and simple problems to be solved within a time limit of two hours. Attendance to the lectures and exercises is not mandatory but is highly recommended, as is participation in the self-assessment quizzes to evaluate acquired knowledge

A written exam consisting of solving three exercises: one on mechanics and fluids, one on thermodynamics, and one on electromagnetism. The oral exam involves a detailed questioning on topics from the syllabus. To pass the exam, it is necessary to achieve a passing grade in both assessments. Access to the oral exam is only granted to those who have obtained at least a score of 15/30 in the written exam, and the final grade is the average of the scores obtained in the two assessments.
