SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Evaluation consists of a written test and a practical test. Written tests are composed of seven open-ended questions to be answered without the use of books and notebooks. Five questions have the goal to evaluate the acquired knowledge on the argument discussed during the course. The remaining two questions have the goal to evaluate the capability to apply the knowledge acquired during the course. Written tests duration is an hour and thirty minutes, their score scale is 0-30 and grades will be communicated within two weeks after the tests through the Elly system. Practical tests consist in the development of a software system and can be carried out by students individually or in groups of up to two people. These tests have the goal to evaluate the capability to apply the knowledge acquired during the course. Moreover, the value of such an evaluation will depend on the quality of the developed system, of the related documentation, and of the oral presentation of the system. The score scale of practical tests is 0-30 and grades are communicated at the end of the presentation. The exam is passed if the grade of both the tests is greater or equal to 18. Final evaluation is the average grade of the two tests. Honors can be awarded in case of achieving the highest score on both tests. For the students following the pre-fit (PF24) studies, the practical tests consist in the preparation of two lesson on specific course arguments and in the oral presentation of one of them.
