Teaching methods

Frontal lectures and exercises.

Assessment methods

The examination consists of a written test consisting of exercises and theoretical questions related to the topics covered in the course. The student must demonstrate knowledge of the concepts explained in the course (in particular definitions and theorems) and know how to apply them to concrete cases. You need to go to the exam with a university card and an identification document. It is not permitted to keep books, notes, calculators, cell phones or other materials with you. To take the written test you must register on the list, in the indicated time window, via AlmaEsami [http://almaesami.unibo.it/]. For the examination test calendar, always refer to AlmaEsami.
