The final exam will  be in-person and consists of two parts:

- an oral exam (immediately after the written part) where the student is asked to answer questions concerning theory and practical aspects covered in the course (15 minutes)

The two parts contribute equally to the final grade out of thirty.

Exam modalities are the same for attending and non-attending students.
