Teaching methods

Frontal lessons, interactive moments and problem solving

Assessment methods

A final exam to verify learning through the acquisition of the expected knowledge and skills, through a written test on the main topics covered during the lessons. The test will be evaluated on the basis of the following parameters: - knowledge, mastery and deepening of the contents - critical and exhibition skills - technical-scientific terminology correctness.

Teaching tools

SLIDE PROJECTION, BLACKBOARD
