Assessment Process

In the first half of the semester, the lectures, although theoretical-practical, have a more theoretical nature. In the second half, they are dominantly practical, and take place in a computer lab.

The final grade, on a 0-20 scale, is obtained on the basis of either continuous evaluation or final exam.

The continuous evaluation comprises:
- A financial numerical study with MATLAB to be developed in group (marked on a 0-10 scale);
- An individual written test covering the whole syllabus (marked on a 0-10 scale).

The final exam includes:
- A numerical exercise with MATLAB (marked on a 0-10 scale);
- An individual written test covering the whole syllabus (marked on a 0-10 scale).

In either case, the minimum grade of 4/10 is required for both the work with MATLAB and the written test.
