Teaching methods

Lectures and exercises in classroom.

Assessment methods

The examination consists of a preliminary written test and an oral one.
The written test consists of exercises related to the arguments of the course. In order to sustain the written test the student must register through AlmaEsami [https://almaesami.unibo.it/] .

The written test remains valid for the oral exam in the same examination period.

The oral test concerns the theoretical aspects of the course. Knowledge of the notions explained during the course (in particular definitions, theorems and their proofs) is required.
