Teaching methods

Traditional black-board based classes.

Assessment methods

Written and oral exams. The written exam is articulated in a series of 6 exercises each with a maximum grade of 5 points. Every exercise attains to elements of the syllabus and the relevant Bibliography covered during the course lectures or otherwise hinted at during classes. The oral exam covers the same range of topics as well, with an eye to the candidate's perfomarnce in the previously held written test.
