Exercises to do in the hands-on lessons (room Ω).

The exam is written (at the computer). Each session proposes three exercises:

• each exercise is graded from 0 to 11;
• each exercise corresponds to one of the three paradigms studied; and
• to pass the exam, you must achieve at least a grade of six in each exercise.

Alternatively, each exercise can be replaced by a midterm exam. There are three midterms, one for each paradigm, and if passed (with a grade of 6 or higher) they remain valid indefinitely, even across academic years. The midterms are independent of each other, so if you fail one, you can still take the next one; any failed midterm can be retaken during the regular exam sessions. You are STRONGLY encouraged to attend and prepare for the midterms.
