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

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.
