The course consists mainly of classroom lectures. These are complemented by supervised classroom exercise sessions in which students can apply the concepts learned during the lectures to realistic use cases and discuss them with the instructor. Finally, for a subset of the topics, the course includes lab sessions to help retain the concepts learned during the lectures by observing the related technologies in action. Specifically, the course is structured into lectures in the classroom for 5.1 credits and laboratories for 0.9 credits.

The exam consists of 30 multiple-choice questions to ensure the student has acquired the expected knowledge (see expected learning outcomes). For the part about skills, the questions may be related to the tools experimented with in the laboratories. The written Test will be taken using the Exams platform in a classroom. In case of technical problems, the students may be asked to write their Test with pencil and paper. The Test is closed-book, i.e., the student cannot consult any material during the Test and cannot use any electronic device except for the PC used for the Test. The maximum grade of the Test is 30/30, and the total duration, as measured by the Exams platform, which includes the setup time, is 1 hour and 10 minutes. The following evaluation criteria will be applied: correct answer: 1 point, wrong answer: -0.33 points, no answer provided: 0 points. A mark on the written Test larger than or equal to 23/30 will give the student the right to take an integrative (and elective) oral test. The oral Test allows the student to obtain the 30L. A sample exam test will be made available to the students through the Exercise platform.

The exam consists of a written test that may include open-answer and closed-answer questions or exercises to check that the student has acquired the expected knowledge (see expected learning outcomes). For the part about skills, the questions may be simple exercises or use cases related to the tools experimented with in the laboratories. The written Test will be taken using the Exams platform in a classroom. In case of technical problems, the students may be asked to write their Test with pencil and paper. The Test is closed-book, i.e., the student cannot consult any material during the Test and cannot use any electronic device except for the PC used for the Test. The maximum grade of the Test is 30/30, and the total duration, as measured by the Exams platform, which includes the setup time, is 1 hour and 30 minutes. A mark on the written Test greater than or equal to 25/30 will give you the right to take an integrative (and totally elective) oral test. The oral Test allows the student to obtain the 30L. Alternatively, the student can develop individual homework about one of the course's topics, delivering a written report followed by an oral presentation. The report and the oral presentation are evaluated up to 30L/30. A sample exam test will be made available to the students through the Exercise platform.
