STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Class attendance/participation
Participation in some preparatory (“mockup”) paper presentation
Presentation of three scientific papers in the context of three internal workshops
Writing a research proposal
Written final exam
The final grade is computed as a weighted average:
50% (final exam) + 30% (paper presentation) and 15% (research proposal) + 5% (class participation)
