Attendance is optional but highly recommended.Type of evaluation
The exam consists of an oral interview in which questions are asked for verifying the student's understanding of the topics and ability to apply them to real contexts. The determination of the final grade will take into account: the level and quality of knowledge of the topics; the ability to analyze the topics critically; the appropriate use of the technical language of this discipline.
