The course is done through classroom lectures and a scheduled visit to the CNR-INM experimental facilitiesAttendance
Attendance of the lectures is optionalType of evaluation
The final evaluation exam consists of a written test with theoretical questions and two or three exercises. The oral exam is carried out at the request of the candidate after the written test.
