Teaching methods

The objective of practices will be the application and deepening of themes dealt with during theoretical lessons.

Practices shall be carried out both in classroom, within lessons, and outside of the timetable of the course, according to a schedule that the teacher will communicate from time to time.

The satisfactory execution of practices is a necessary prerequisite for the admittance to the examination.

Assessment methods

The oral test consists of two distinct phases:

-  oral exam and synthesis exercises relating to topics dealt with during lessons and practices;

-  illustration and assessment of graphic works produced during practices.

The assessment of oral tests will be an integral part of the overall assessment relating to the course.
