The teaching methodology consists of lectures for acquiring fundamental knowledge to achieve the educational objectives scheduled. The attending Students to teaching activities is optional. In case of an extension of COVID-19 health emergency, all the provisions governing the teaching activities will be implemented.Attendance
Attendance is not mandatory, although strongly recommended in order to take advantage of all the technical information made available through theoretical lessons and practical exercises. In case of an extension of COVID-19 health emergency, all the provisions governing the teaching activities will be implemented.Type of evaluation
The verification of skills learning takes place through an oral test lasting about 1 hour, for verifying the level of effective understanding of the concepts and the students' ability to apply them in real contexts. In case of an extension of COVID-19 health emergency, all the provisions governing the evaluation methods of the students will be implemented. teacher profile teaching materials
