The second is a final test, where student writes and describes the control models, one theoretical question and one Engle class, followed by oral defence. Student skills and knowledge of the acquired lectures and classes material is evaluated. Final score is 'passed' if the student achieves more than 60% of the correct answers. | ||||||||
