Exam rules

The exam is open book, everything is allowed EXCEPT SPEAKING TO OTHERS (for example: you can google, you can use the resources provided in class, the books, etc). Be aware time is limited for the submission.

This is a non-proctored exam, which means we are trusting you not to copy from each other. In order to make sure of this, questions are suffled and different versions of the exam are given to each student.

The exam contains 5 questions per section (5 for statistics, 5 for remote sensing, 5 for algebra), which can be composed by 2/3 single choice questions + 2/3 open-ended questions.

Single choice questions means that only one of the options is correct (no multiple choice is correct), and be aware if you reply wrongly half of the mark weight of that question will be removed. So if the question has a weight of 2 points there are 3 options: +2 points if you get it right, 0 points if you don’t answer, -1 points if you get it wrong.

Open-ended questions can be theoretical or practical, in which case we ask you to perform certain tasks in your computer.

Which parts of the course are at the exam?

Git, LaTeX, and Linux are not at the exam.
