Teaching methods
Theoretical lessons; during and at the end of the course the exercises will be done.
Assessment methods
Wtritten (100 minutes) and oral (45 minuts) examinations.
The written test consists of 6 questions (from 3 to 6 points each, with partial points for partial answers).
Students who pass the written test with a score of 18/30 to 30/30 will support the oral test.
During Covid emergency the written test is replaced by a multiple choise test (20 questions, 30 minutes), with the score of 15/20 the student can access to oral test.
Teaching tools
Projector and PC. Using materials of textbooks available on web.
PDF slides will be available on Virtuale.
