Type of delivery of the course

The course includes: - frontal lessons, - classroom exercises, - development of classroom projects, - attend seminars and/or conferences organized as part of the course, - visit the research laboratory. In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented. In particular, the following methods will apply: - the platform for carrying out the lessons will be the official Teams platform. The teacher uses assistants for teaching support (exercises and development of classroom projects).

Attendance

Attendance is compulsory for 75% of the lesson hours

Type of evaluation

Design and verification of a RC structure. Structural drawings and technical report. Oral exam with theoretical questions and discussion of the project carried out during the course. In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented. In particular, the following methods will apply: - the electronic submission of the files relating to the structural drawings and the technical report (all the documents necessary to carry out the project); The submission must take place at least 7 days before the exam date. - the exam includes an oral test with theoretical questions and a discussion of the project carried out during the course. - the platform for carrying out the distance exams will be the official Teams platform already used by the students to follow the university courses
