Assessment methods
Achievements will be assessed by the means of a written test .
The written test will consist of questions (both multiple choice and open questions).
The exam is set to evaluate the students' knowledge-level, analysing and synthesizing abilities, and technical communication skills.
Higher grades will be awarded to students who demonstrate an organic understanding of the subject, a high ability for critical application, a clear and concise presentation of their ideas and an appropriate use of technical language.
Teaching tools
Lecture slides and integrative supporting material will be available on-line (https://iol.unibo.it/)
