Reference Bibliography
Didactic material is given to the students close to the lesson.Type of evaluation
During the course, the knowledge acquired by the students will be evaluated through 3 partial exams. Students are, however, free to sustain only the oral exam. Beginning for the June-July 2020 the exam will be only oral accordi to what established in D.R. n. 703/2020.
