Teaching methods

Frontal lectures to explain the basic notions, examples, and counterexamples.

Exercises solved by the teacher.

Additional exercise sheets for personal study.

Office hours.

Assessment methods

The final examinations consists of a written test made up of two parts:

  • a first one will propose some exercises;
  • a second one will ask questions about the theory (definitions, theorem statements, examples, counterexamples, proofs).

The examination is passed if the grade of both parts is greater than 8/16 and if the sum of the two is greater than 18/32. The final grade is the sum of the grades in each part (31 and 32 corresponding to cum laude). 

In case the written test is passed, the student can ask to also take an elective oral test. This one has to be taken in the same exam period (winter, summer, fall) as the written part.

Teaching tools

Tutoring and office hours.

Additional material will be made available on the Virtale page of the class.
