The course evaluation is based on a written group assignment to be completed according to the instructions sent to all students and also communicated in class.

This assignment, maximum 5 pages in length and using the usual standards of font, margins, etc., must be sent by e-mail in PDF format to the teachers by June 20 at the latest.
