Slide Repository

The exam consists of the preparation of a didactic project or a review of a topic and an oral examination.

The project must be developed using the tools and the methodologies presented during the course or suggested by the teachers. It must be accompanied by a written report explaining its motivations, design choices and structure.

Both the project (including code, if applicable) and the report must be submitted by email to the teachers and will be evaluated prior to admission to the oral exam.

Students will be admitted to the oral exam only if the project meets the minimum score requirements (18/30).

Students who choose the review option must:

• agree on the topic with the instructor
• conduct a systematic literature review following the PRISMA methodology

The review must be accompanied by a written report that:

• clearly defines the research questions
• describes the review methodology
• presents and discusses the main findings
• explicitly answers the research questions based on the analyzed literature

Students will be admitted to the oral exam only if the written document meets the minimum score requirements (18/30).

The oral exam consists of:

• a presentation of the work done using slides (15–20 minutes)
• a discussion with the instructor

During the discussion, the student will be asked to:

• explain and justify the design choices made
• solve simple practical problems using the technologies presented in the course
• discuss the main theoretical concepts covered in the course

The exam will not be passed if the student:

• is unable to adequately justify design decisions or statements on the review
• cannot select appropriate technologies to address accessibility issues
• fails to connect different concepts from the course when answering questions

The final grade will be based on:

• the quality of the project/written review
• the clarity and effectiveness of the presentation
• the performance in the oral examination
