Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria To pass without an exam: FINAL NOTE = Fr1(30%) + Fr2(30%) + MTr(20%) + PL(20%) where:
-Fr1 [Frequencies](30%) = written test to be taken in the middle of the semester
-Fr2 [Frequencies](30%) = written test to be taken at the end of the semester
-MTr [Mini-Work] (20%) = 4 mini-works to be carried out during the semester with a presentation (5% each).
-The PL [Laboratory Work] component is carried out throughout the semester with a report and a PowerPoint presentation.

In exam periods, the formula for calculating the final grade is as follows:
To pass without an exam: FINAL NOTE = Ex(60%) + MTr(20%) + PL(20%)
Ex (60%) = written test to be taken during exam periods.
MTr(20%) + PL(20%) -> The marks for these components are carried over to the exam period.
