As mentioned in the official program and several times from the beginning of the course, the written exam covers all the material presented in the lectures, the sessions devoted to the exercises, and the computer laboratory sessions and assignments.
The exam consists of 5 questions aimed at evaluating the level of (applying) knowledge and understanding of the main concepts, models, results and methods covered in the course as specified in the expected learning outcomes.
Specifically, the exam includes one question on graph optimization, one on Linear Programming, one on Integer Linear Programming, one on the knowledge acquired during the computer lab activities (AMPL syntax and solver's output interpretation for Linear Programs), and one on modeling. The first 4 questions are closed book (without course material) while the last modeling question is open book (course material and/or a summary is allowed but it is not needed).
Remember that a number of old exam questions are available from the course material webpage.
Students are invited to take the written exam when they are well prepared.
