Course contents

The course is organized as a collection of seminars given by experts in Telecommunications.

The seminars will be given both by PhD students (with the aim to create connections between the Master curriculum and research, with insights on possible opportunities for the preparation of the final project) and by experts from the Industry (with the aim to provide a view of the transversal role of telecommunications in real world scenarios).

The topics and list of seminars will be available soon.

Readings/Bibliography

Papers on the topic of the seminar or slide of the seminar itself are distributed in advance. Students are required to read the assigned papers/slides before the seminar and prepare questions.

Teaching methods

This course will be part of the experimental teaching action: it will use the "blended" teaching method, where 35% of the hours will be held online, and the remaining 65% in presence in the room.

Students will be involved in peer interaction with the teachers through questions and discussions in groups.

Team working will take place online at the end of groups of seminars.

Attendance to the seminars is compulsory (see assessment methods for details).

Assessment methods

Evaluation of student's participation, their ability to interact with experts and to present prepared slides in front of the class will take place during the course.
