The final test will be finalized to an informal colloquium that ascertains the overall level of knowledge accrued by the student at the end of the course. Attendance is strongly encouraged, the colloquium is reserved for those who have attended the course for at least 75% of the time. Where frequency has not been possible, the student will be assessed by a written test made of 20 multiple choice questions. The questions will be based on notions contained in the chapters from 1-20 and 59- 63 of the recommended textbook as well as in the reviews discussed in class. To pass the written test the candidate will have to correctly answer at least 11 out of 20 questions.
