-/*A list with approximated presentation times for the day of exam will be available when the date of the exam is approaching. Please let us know if you have time constraints that day so we can schedule your exam at a convenient time.*/
+However, to increase flexibility, it will also be possible for
+the students to choose to have their exam on the 16th or the 18th.
+In this case they should let us know, at the time they deliver their
+project (June 6, 2020), whether they wish to have their examination
+on the 16th, the 18th or the 22nd/23rd/24th.
+We will try as much as possible to meet the students requests.
+If no indication is provided, it will be assumed that the student wishes to take his/her exam on the 22nd/23rd/24th.
+Students should also provide, together with the delivery of their project, a telephone number or Skype address where we could call them in case there is any problem with the TEAMS connection.
+Please place your telephone number on the project front page, just beside your name.
-At the exam you will present the results of your project using a powerpoint-like presentation of exactly 5 minutes. Please bring your own portable computer and make sure it is already switched on and ready when you are called in for your oral exam. The rest of the exam will consist of a question answering session on all the subjects covered by the course.

+===== Project first session =====
+The project is composed of two parts, covering the two subjects studied in class: swarm robotics and optimization. In the first part, the students are required to solve, by hand, a collective decision problem in which a swarm must select the best option among set of possible alternatives. In the second part, the students must identify parameters of their solution to the collective decision problem, and fine-tune these parameters using a particle swarm optimization algorithm.

+===== Project rules =====
+The project counts for 50% of the final grade. The two parts of the project (swarm robotics and optimization) are equally important and comprise one single project. Therefore, in order to deliver a complete project, the students have to tackle the two parts.
+The project submission deadline is June 6 at 23:59. Delay on the submission will entail a penalty of 1 point every 12 hours of delay on the final evaluation of the project. Maximum delays is June 9 at 23:59. After this deadline, the exam is failed.
+The students have to submit, via the Assignments of TEAMS, the following elements:
+Their code in digital format together with information on how to test it;
+A short report of maximum 7 pages written in English that describes their work.
