Teaching methods

Frontal lectures and seminars with experts.


Assessment methods

Student achievement is assessed through an oral exam where the student is asked to reply to 4-6 questions focusing on the topics covered during the lectures (students should attend all lectures or obtain the notes from their colleagues when absent). It will assess the level of acquired knowledge and the ability in reasoning on the covered themes.


Teaching tools

In addition to the reference books, the presentations and lecture notes on the topics covered during the course, published in AMS Campus - AlmaDL University of Bologna, will be available.
