Metodi didattici
Lectures and practical examples. Attending all classes and taking personal notes is highly recommended. Group work can be exploited as needed on specific application examples.
Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
The final exam is organised as an oral verification.
During the colloquium, both practical and theoretical questions will be formulated.
The student is expected to show familiarity with the fundamental concepts of communications theory, with an ability to prove statements and apply the concepts to practical applications.
