Teaching Methods
THE COURSE CONSISTS IN THEORETICAL LECTURES AND EXERCISES. 72 HOURS IN TOTAL: 38 HOURS FOR THE THEORY AND 34 HOURS FOR THE EXERCISES.
THE COURSE IS DELIVERED IN PRESENCE WITH MANDATORY FREQUENCY, CERTIFIED BY THE STUDENT THROUGH THE USE OF THE PERSONAL BADGE. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE FINAL VERIFICATION OF PROFITS AND OBTAIN THE CFU RELATED TO THE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE SCHEDULED HOURS OF TEACHING ACTIVITY.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL EXAM IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE AS A WHOLE: THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. THE MASTERY OF THE MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE IN THE WRITTEN AND ORAL TEST. THE SKILL OF PROVING THEOREMS. THE SKILL OF SOLVING EXERCISES. THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND APPLY THE BEST AND MORE EFFICIENT METHOD IN EXERCISES SOLVING. THE ABILITY TO USE THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE.
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL EXAMINATION.
WRITTEN TEST: THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS IN SOLVING TYPICAL PROBLEMS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE (THERE ARE SAMPLES AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE) AND THE TOOLS USED IN SOLVING THE EXERCISES AND THE CLARITY OF ARGUMENTATION WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN THE EVALUATION. THERE WILL BE A MID TERM TEST CONCERNING THE TOPICS ALREADY PRESENTED IN THE COURSE, WHICH IN CASE OF A SUFFICIENT MARK, WILL EXEMPT THE STUDENTS ON THIS TOPICS AT THE WRITTEN TEST. THE WRITTEN TEST WILL BE EVALUATED IN THIRTIETHS.
THE ORAL INTERVIEW IS DEVOTED TO EVALUATE THE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND MASTERY IN ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE, AS DEFINITIONS, AS PROOFS OF THEOREMS AND IN SOLVING EXERCISES.
THE FINAL MARK, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS (EVENTUALLY WITH LAUDE), DEPENDS ON THE GLOBAL VALUTATION OF THE STUDENT.
