Type of delivery of the course

Lectures (about forty-eight hours) and exercises (about forty-two hours). All the program material will be explained in class. The lessons / exercises will include a continuous dialogue with the students: the feedback from the students during the course is a fundamental tool for the success of the course itself.

Attendance

Attendance is optional and understanding of the text adopted is sufficient for full use of the course. Of course attendance is desirable and strongly recommended as the interaction between teacher and students is a fundamental and unrepeatable teaching tool.

Type of evaluation

The evaluation is based on a written test and an oral exam. There are two written tests "in progress" which, in the event of a positive outcome, replace the final written test. Examples of tests of past years will be available on the web site dedicated to the course which will be constantly updated by the teacher.
