Teaching methods
Classes are organized as lectures in the classroom, in-class exercises, and laboratory exercises.
Regarding Health and Safety Training, students are required to attend e-Learning Modules 1 and 2. The additional Module 3 is mandatory for this learning activity.
Assessment methods
Learning assessment is evaluated only by means of the final examination. This aims at verifying the student's knowledge and skills by means of an oral exam. In the oral exam, the student presents a written report on the laboratory work and delve into a topic covered in class relying on the material presented in the appendixes of the Lecture notes. In addition, a question concerning the course contents is asked to the student.
Teaching tools
Video projector, notebook, blackboard, computer, training laboratory equipment.
