Dear students,
Due to problems with DIDA, the instruction emails for tomorrow exams have gone lost or wrongly sent!
I write them again for the fourth time.
DISREGARD ANY PREVIOUS COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE MIDTERM!
Tomorrow’s midterm consists in two parts: a multiple-choice test and the presentation of the Stratex group videos. For the first one, detailed instructions follow: read them carefully, in your own interest!
For the Stratex, to allow grading and as announced, all group representatives chosen by the group must send an email by tomorrow the 10th at 20.00, with the list of the students who contributed in a significant manner to the exercise. Only those on the list will receive the Stratex grade. Significant remote contributions for justifiable reasons can also be included.
Representatives must also bring an USB pen with their group video file, as a back up for the exam.
Presentations are a formal exam and a great opportunity of exchange among students: attendance and proper behavior are mandatory.
Between the Test and the presentations we will have a short break.
Here follow the test instrucions:
