Teaching methods

Various topics of the program are covered by continuously integrating the presentation and discussion in the classroom of conceptual and theoretical aspects with the concrete development of examples and systems in the laboratory. For the latter, group work is encouraged, with the possibility of carrying out assignments completed progressively during the course.

Assessment methods

Learning assessment is conducted through an interview in which the assignments completed during the year are discussed. The discussion starts from the concrete solutions adopted in the systems developed in the assignments, and then delves into the more conceptual and theoretical parts covered in the course.

Teaching tools

Slides will be provided both for the theoretical part and for the laboratory part, as well as the solutions to all the exercises completed.
