Evaluation method and criteria

Your final grade will be calculated according to the following process:
- Defining the problem: 20 points
- Devising strategies: 30 points
- Solving the problem: 20 points
- Communication: 10 points
- Planning and execution: 20 points
An aggregate score of at least 60 points is required to pass the course.
Grading will be decided based on presentation and assessment of performance in the lab.
