Assessment

The assessment of students (throughout the semester) is composed of two components:
  • Theory: 2 mini tests (on discrete and continuous domains), assessing the knowledge acquired by the students on the basic concepts taught (e.g. modelling, constraint propagation and search).
  • Practice: 2 projects, that assess the ability of the students to apply and adapt the acquired knowledge to solve mid-sized constraint problems (on discrete and continuous domains),.

The final grade is the average of the Theory and Practice components, a minimum grade of 8.0 (in 20) being required in both (i.e. Theory: average of the 2 mini-tests and Practice: average of the 2 projects). A student obtains approval in the course if the final grade is no less than 9.5 (in 20).

The components of the assessment are the following (dates to be confirmed):
  • MiniTest1   -    Finite Domains            -    date to be announced
  • Project_1    -    Finite Domains            -    dates to be announced
  • MiniTest2   -    Continuous Domains   -    date to be announced
  • Project_2    -    Continuous Domains   -    dates to be announced

There is an optional exam, for students with a Practice component grade no less than 8.0. The exam has two parts (Finite and Continuous Domains - students may do only one part), whose grades replace the grades of the corresponding MiniTests (if not lower than the latter) in the computation of the final grade.
