Assessment	The final assessment method is an exam. There will be two parts: 
a written part (consisting of a minicase study), 
and a practical part (consisting in a partial implementation of the minicase model).
The final mark (on a ten points scale, one point by default) will be obtained as:
A.  Lab activity: 5p
B.  Written exam (on paper): 2p
C.  Practical exam (at computer): 3p
