Homework and two practical activities.
Assessment methods
FOR ERASMUS STUDENTS: Erasmus students that are willing to attend classes of Statics should have at least a B1 level Italian language (it is a reccomendation, not mandatory).
The exam consists of a written exam followed by an oral exam. The written exam consists in the resolution of exercises.
The oral examination covers ALL the course program (the program should be downloaded from the website).
The written exams will be planned in June, July, September, January and February.
The oral exam is usually scheduled the same day of the written exam.
Those who pass the written exam, can give the oral exam. If a student is not satisfied with the grade obtained in a test can redo the written exam. At the end, the last written vote counts ONLY (not the best written!).
