 EXAM RULES
The exam consists of a written test followed by an oral exam.
Both the written test and the oral test consist of questions regarding the topics covered in the lectures, documented both in text books, in the illustrated slides in the and in-depth exercises; the written test is carried out in the laboratory, where the simulator can be used both for the assembly language and for the Verilog language for an immediate verification of the correctness of the corresponding exercises; in the oral part the questions are completely similar to those in the written part (and viceversa).
The written part is passed with a grade of not less than 18/30. The weighs are as follows: oral part 50%, written part 50%.
Attendance at lectures and lab sessions is strongly recommended; where attendance is not possible, refer to the teacher in case of difficulty.
During the course there will be two written tests (optional): the first on the first part of the course and the second on the second part of the course. Passing the written tests in progress (average not less than 18/30) allows the exemption from the written test in the first two sessions of the academic year (the oral test must in any case be taken; an insufficient test can be recovered by performing the corresponding part in one of the first two written exams).
It is possible to present an optional group project (max 3 people) that contributes to the overall grade up to 5/30 in addition to the final grade obtained with written and oral.

NOTES
- Both in the written and oral exams (but also in the projects) the
student is mainly required to show his/her detailed understanding of
the topic, at least at the level shown by the teacher during the
lesson. It's greatly appreciated the capacity of reasoning on the
problem, rather than a mechanical (pedant) description of the topic.
- In case of written exercise, we mainly look at the correctness of the
solution (in terms of numbers) and a very short justification of the
chosen way to carry out the exercise (lengthy general wording is
completely unnecessary).
- In case of oral question, the topic is typically one of the concepts
illustrated during the lesson. Elements that are required are, for
instance: the proof of the concept/theorem, precise schematic of the
system, detailed behavior and functioning, reasons why this solution
is used in the real-world.
