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

Note, the solutions to the exercises I did in the recorded hands-on sessions are available in a SVN repository accessible at:

The credentials to access the repository are the same you use to access the password protected content on this page.

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

• the exercises are marked from 0 to 11;
• each exercise is about one of the three studied paradigms; and
• to pass the exam you need a grade of at least six for every exercise.

In alternative, each exercise can be substituted by a midterm exam. The midterms are three, 1 for every paradigm, and if passed (with a grade of 6 or more) they hold for the whole academic year. The midterms are independent of each other, so if you fail one of them you can do the next one: the failed midterms can be caught up in the exam sessions. You are STRONGLY encouraged to follow and prepare the midterms.
