Teaching methods

The course content will be entirely covered by lectures. The course includes laboratory sessions, which will cover some practical aspects of the lectures. The instructors will supervise students during the laboratory activities.

Assessment methods

The exam takes place in a single session and includes one written exercise (solution of a structure or study of a section) and questions on every part of the theory and its applications.

Teaching tools

The teaching tools are overhead projector, projector and PC.

Handouts will be available on AMS Campus
