| S-MATH-042 | Assessment includes oral presentations by students during the course. For this reason, attendance is compulsory. |
| S-CHIM-017 | The evaluation of the student is made based on two tasks: - a summary of a few pages about one of the themes discussed during the lessons - a presentation of 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion, about a technological innovation, with a main focus on non-scientific aspects (political, economical, social,...). This innovation can be one that has been developed a long time ago and is well-documented (fixing atmospheric nitrogen to produce fertilizers, the discovery of the chemical elements and the development of their uses) or it can be a new one, with controversial or poorly known impacts (artificial intelligence, connected smart objects). In the event of proven plagiarism with aggravating circumstances of erroneous bibliographic referencing for the relevant part of the work, the grade for the teaching unit (i.e. educational component, EU) will be zero points out of twenty (0/20) and the case file will be forwarded to the deliberation jury to rule on the merits of further sanctions |
