 The signatures of attending students will be collected during lectures and seminars

Assessment methods

Attending students: the final exam will consist of one intermediate written test (presumably at the end of October), which will replace the corresponding part of the final exam, and an oral exam. In addition, the final vote will depend also on the positive ratings due to participation in the activities carried out during the course (seminars, reports, interventions).
