Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LECTURES AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES.
Verification of learning
THE GOAL OF THE FINAL EXAM IS THE EVALUATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. FURTHERMORE, THE PERSONAL JUDGEMENT, THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND THE LEARNING ABILITIES ARE ALSO EVALUATED.

THE FINAL EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST POSSIBLY FOLLOWED BY AN ORAL INTERVIEW.

THE WRITTEN TEST IS EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF THE ABILITY TO FORMALIZE THE PROBLEM, THE CORRECTNESS OF THE RESULTS, THE CLARITY OF THE PRESENTATION, THE DEPTH OF UNDERSTANDING. A POSITIVE EVALUATION IS NECESSARY TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE ORAL EXAMINATION. THE ORAL EXAMINATION IS AIMED TO REFINE THE EVALUATION.

THE ORAL INTERVIEW AIMS TO VERIFY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE ALSO ON THE TOPICS NOT COVERED BY THE WRITTEN TEST. THE ORAL EXPOSITION AND THE MATHEMATICAL ARGUMENTS ARE CREDITED WITH HIGHER SCORES. AN ORAL INTERVIEW THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT IMPLIES THE REPETITION OF THE WRITTEN TEST, TOO.

IN LINE WITH DEPARTMENT DECISIONS, COURSE PARTICIPANTS CAN UNDERGO AN INTERMEDIATE TEST, THAT ENABLES TO PARTICIPATE TO A FINAL WRITTEN TEST WITHIN THE EXAM SESSION JUST AFTER THE END OF THE COURSE. IF THE FINAL TEST IS PASSED, THE FINAL ORAL INTERVIEW BECOMES OPTIONAL.
