The exam consists of a test to be carried out in the laboratory, with the support of Moodle and the Kathara' network emulator, lasting approximately 2 hours. As an alternative to the entire exam, you can take advantage of the ongoing evaluation (with intermediate test). Only one intermediate test is scheduled on 11/12/2023 (date subject to confirmation). Those who participate in the intermediate test and want to use the grade will take a final exam reduced by approximately fifty percent of the time and the grade obtained in the intermediate test will count for fifty percent of the exam grade.
