-===== Exam modalities and dates - 1st session ===== +
- +
-**Exams will take place online, using the ULB TEAMS application** +
- +
-**The first session exams will take place on June 22nd/​23rd/​24th,​ 2020** +
- +
-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. +
- +
-At the time of submission of your project, you will be asked to indicate whether you prefer to have an in depth interrogation on swarm-based optimization or on swarm robotics. ​ Place this information on the front page of your project report, under your name. +
- +
-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. +
- +
-- If you have chosen to have a deep examination on swarm-based optimization,​ you will answer Prof. Dorigo'​s questions on the topic; and will present your project to Prof. Birattari. Prof. Birattari will ask you question on the project and also a few questions on the part of the course that focused on swarm robotics, automatic design, and division of labour. +

Prof. Dorigo will ask you question on the project and also a few questions on the part of the course that focused on ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization. +
- +
-The two parts of the exam will not necessarily happen in the order defined above: you might first be asked in-depth questions on the selected topic and then present the project, or vice versa. Also, the two parts of the exam will not necessarily happen one immediately after the other either: ​ even though we will try to limit the time interval between the two examinations to a few hours at most. +
- +
-As a reminder, your final mark will be the average between the two partial marks received for the project and for the answers you will give to the theoretical questions on the course. Also, in order to pass the exam you need to pass both the presentation of the project and the theoretical questions. +
- +
-Please do not forget that the deadline for the delivering the project and the accompanying report is June 6, 2020, at midnight. We have decided to make available to you the description of the project requirements on April 17, 2020, so that you have abundant extra time to prepare it (in previous years we gave one month time). Note however, that delayed delivery will be subject to the following: 1 point lost for each interval of 12 hours delay. Max delay 3 calendar days (that is, no exam for projects delivered after June 9 at midnight). +
- +
-Projects should also be submitted via Teams. ​ If you were to encounter difficulties to access the project description or to submit your work, please contact both Antoine Ligot <​aligot@ulb.ac.be>​ and Christian Camacho <​Christian.Camacho.Villalon@ulb.be>​.  +

- +
-** 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 both parts. +
- +
-The project submission deadline is August 9 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 August 11 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. +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-/* +
-<note important>​ +
-**Project registration - Second session** +
-</​note>​ +
-To take part in the project, which is mandatory for the exam, you have to register by sending an email by July 7, 2019, to: +
-- Christian Camacho Villalón and Federico Pagnozzi if you choose the project in optimization (ccamacho@ulb.ac.be;​ federico.pagnozzi@ulb.ac.be) +
-- Antoine Ligot and David Garzon Ramos if you choose the project in robotics (aligot@ulb.ac.be;​ dgarzonr@ulb.ac.be) +
-<note important>​ +
-**The deadline for the delivery of the second session project is Friday, August 9, 2019, at 23:59** +
-</​note>​ +
-Projects submitted after this deadline will incur a penalty of 1 point for each 12 hours delay, with a max accepted delay of 2 calendar days.  Projects delivered after the midnight of Sunday, August 11, 2019, will not be considered and the student will therefore not be admitted to the exam. +
