blank sheets, stationery and a non‐programmable pocket calculator.
Your personal computer should be positioned as shown in Figure 1, with the webcam framing you,
the desk and the sheets on which you will write (correct framing shown in Figure 2).
You are allowed to use the smartphone only at the end of the exam, when the professor gives you
time (10 minutes) to take the pictures of your papers, create the .pdf files and upload them on
EOL.UNIBO.IT (or, only in exceptional cases, send them to stefano.silvestri@unibo.it). Therefore you
have to leave your smartphone on the desk, visible and with the screen facing down.
You are not allowed to consult books, notes, slides or codes for the entire duration of the exam.
You are not allowed to use hearings during the exam.
During the exam, you should keep your eyes on the sheets and you are not allowed to move from
