Metodi didattici
Lectures and practical lab activities
Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
The exam will be a practical application of the concepts presented during the lecture to a specific use case. The use cases will be defined in line with the examples presented in the last part of the course. Every student will be required to implement an application of the networking techniques to the specific use case.
The use case will be presented to the student before the end of the classes, they will have some time to develop the solution on their own and the exam will be an oral explanation of such solution, with free oral questions from the teachers.
Strumenti a supporto della didattica
Slides and additional readings will be made available by the teacher on the Virtuale platform
