Learning assessment

The assessment is based on written examination and an oral interview. The written test is composed of exercises in order to assess the
achievement by the student of the learning objectives. The oral exam focuses on the theoretical topics dealt with during the course and it is
designed to evaluate the student's ability to express and formalize mathematical concepts. The vote of the examination is expressed in
scale from 0 to 30, and it is results of written and oral examination.

More information

The student should be able to demonstrate knowledge of mathematical tools and ability to identify those suitable for modeling and solving
economic, financial and statistical issues. Faced with a more complex problem, the student has to be able to analyze and solve every part of it,
interpret the obtained results and provide the solution to the original problem.
