Type of delivery of the course

The teaching methodology consists of lectures for acquiring fundamental knowledge to achieve the educational objectives scheduled. The attending Students to teaching activities is optional.

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.

Type of evaluation

The verification of skills learning takes place through an oral test lasting about 1 hour, to verifying the level of effective understanding of the concepts and the students' ability to apply them in real contexts.
